Unless I missed something LL has never stated anything about legal liabilities, it's solely based on some peoples personal interpretation of the TPVP.
-------------- If it is badly enough written that people get that idea from reading it, it should be made clearer. I have read it, and the following sections can plausibly be read as imposing liability on a developer: " If you are a Developer, you are responsible for all features, functionality, code, and content of Third-Party Viewers that you develop or distribute." " You assume all risks, expenses, and defects of any Third-Party Viewers that you use, develop, or distribute" If the first one was re-written to say "you are responsible for all NEW features etc that you ADDED to make a Third-Party Viewer, etc" it would be more clear. The second one should simply drop "develop or distribute". The GNU GPL license on LL own page states "6. ...You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein." (in this case, "you" being Linden Research), and further includes the No Warranty paragraphs 11 and 12. Therefore any attempt to impose responsibility, risks, expenses, etc on a developer appear to conflict with the GPL. _______________________________________________ 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
