Tayra, in all respect, but you need to read the policy before posting a comment about it.
There are at least 2 major violations against GPL in TPV, independent if I want to develop or use any 3rd party viewer to connect to SecondLife or not. And I pointed them out in my previous mail. "You [the developer] assume all risks, expenses, and defects of any Third-Party Viewers that you use, develop, or distribute" "You [the developer] acknowledge and agree that we may require you to stop using or distributing a Third-Party Viewer" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tayra Dagostino" <tayra.dagost...@gmail.com> To: "Boy Lane" <boy.l...@yahoo.com> Cc: <opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com> Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2010 11:28 PM Subject: Re: [opensource-dev] Third party viewer policy: commencement date > On Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:05:29 +0800 > "Boy Lane" <boy.l...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> Again, I completely agree with you.
