TPV don't limit neither restrict neither violate GPL, why TPV is a bundle of rules about LL services. example: ICEWEASEL is gpl, but http stack follow IEEE standards, so Iceweasel broke GPL? you can develop your virewer looking only GPL, TPV don't touch your source code modification or ownership, TPV is "whatever" connecting LL grid, GPL or not. i don't understand your poiting against TPV vs GPL, is a unusefull and stupid battle like Cherry vs Potato... in which way your GPL capabilities should be broken if you complain to TPV? if a name restriction disallow your product to connect to LL grid mean GPL is broken? no, GPL still valid, your viewwer will connect other grids, you are totally free _______________________________________________ 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
