While i agree that this maybe could have been phrased better if you look the GPL Violation due to liability concerns may not actually be valid
#include standardIANAL.h the liability tree goes LL is liable for the servers being fit for purpose and is also liable for Gross Negligence for as distributed Viewers (secondlife): example if somebody goes into a seizure due to using SL 2.0 or if something in the code decides to trash Windows. A Person doing a from source compile is liable for any changes done (adding bits and such) Another person using a TPV is liable for anything done while using the TPV in short everybody is only liable for what they can control so if somebody changes a TPV and does a custom compile the TPV distributor is not liable (so a NielHack copy of say Emerald does not make the Emerald team liable) Could a Linden please confirm all of this?? -- Robert L Martin _______________________________________________ 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
