Let's face it. Q has basically put a final answer to all our questions. how did he put it... "Similarly, any comment by one of Linden's lawyers in this forum or any other could possibly be treated as legally binding. That also goes for Linden employees, especially those with any seniority. So you're unlikely to get further remarks or "clarifications", except general statements that don't address specific questions. The policy was revised based on comments on this list and elsewhere. That's probably a pretty good indication that Linden Lab's lawyers now think it's clear enough to state its intent and to stand up in court if they need it to." therefor I notified the FSF of this stuff. Let's see what they think. _______________________________________________ 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
