Maybe is better read what TPV say, not what do you think LL mean with
TPV (read and apply forensic laws on informatic is my job... maybe I
can understand better some terms, but isn't anyway a reason to this
poor victimistic show)
GPL rights for developers aren't touched, GPL header is in each file,
you as developer can mod, distribute and do all you want under GPL
terms. This work for all uses you wantto do with the viewer code
(limited by GPL), in the moment you say your viewer is for Second Life
grid of Linden Labs Research the relationship isn't anymore from you
and your software but from you and LL.
You can write patch and mod the viewer with copybot features or other,
and connect to JohnSmith Research LtD SuperLife grid, nobody say else,
but if you want your viewer is listed in viewer Ll directory and
allowed to connect to Second Life grid GPL is out of field, the
"rules" are TPV (as for resident the rules are CS and TOS). All
warranty listed in TPV are binded to developer modification, is
obvious if a bug is pre-existent is out of developer range (a
developer have responsibility only about what he/she write, is more
than easy ask compensation if a developer is charged for a bug
previously written by LL initial source code)
Developer right are protected by GPL itself, nobody, neither LL, can
touch it, TPV is a suite of rules between YOU and Linden. LL itself
cannotmodify GPL license, TPV is only binded in relationship from LL
and developers than distribute or patch or mod something called
"viewer for LL second life grid" (no software neither GPL involvement).
You can blame about TPV only if you are going to mod the code with bad
features....
Is better for all stop this victim roleplay, if you think something
isn't so clear you can ask to clarify, but TPV is totally stranger
from GPL, merge with perosnal fantasy what not understanded isn't good
for nobody.

Tayra, I don't think you understand how law works.
TPV developers cannot appear in a court of law and tell the judge,
"Judge, I'm not liable to this plaintiff, because Tayra Dagostino's
interpretation of the TPV says that it doesn't apply to me."
That's not how law works.
Instead, law operates by examining THE ACTUAL WORDS THAT ARE WRITTEN
in a license or agreement. And the words that are written in the
TPV are the unconscionable and out-of-control mess that has been
detailed here extensively, as opposed to the blissful mirage of your
wishful thinking.
