To promote a positive and predictable experience for all Residents of Second Life, we require users of Third-Party Viewers ***and those who develop or distribute them*** (“Developers”) to comply with this Policy and the Second Life Terms of Service. ***If you are a Developer who distributes Third-Party Viewers to others***, you must also provide the following disclosures and functionality You acknowledge and agree that we may require you to stop using ***or distributing*** a Third-Party Viewer for accessing Second Life etc etc etc etc etc etc... I'm not arguing that these are not, perhaps, reasonable requirements. I am simply pointing out that they are NOT compatible with the GPL. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
