I have a strong urge to produce a viewer which violates this policy, relying solely on the rights granted by the existing GPL. I will never use this viewer myself to login to SL, and thus reject any of these terms. Any developers who object to this policy should follow suit.
A few questions: If I distribute a viewer which violates this policy but refuses to login to any LL-owned grids, and one of my users modifies it to do so, would you attempt to hold me liable? If I was to close all my SL accounts today (probably won't actually, but it's a thought experiment) and distribute a viewer that breaks this policy, would you attempt to hold me liable? I say "attempt", because I see no way LL could do so without the TOS binding me (the only possible way this policy could be enforced - and even then some lawyer type may be able to make a case against it). Should be fine though, the policy states at the top that it essentially only matters for people using the viewer to connect. My question is if I develop a policy-breaking viewer for use on other grids and simply neglect to add an if(grid=='agni') refuse_connection() statement, will you be holding my users liable or me? Assuming I never use it myself to connect to an LL-owned grid On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 5:46 AM, Tigro Spottystripes <tigrospottystri...@gmail.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > is the policy just a set of requisites for a client to be included in > the list LL will have on their site or to be allowed to connect to Agni > at all? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iEYEARECAAYFAkuEvRgACgkQ8ZFfSrFHsmU1iwCfdWe7xzvnegSrZm1ApcPiR13C > 2CIAn2ho4G5QXImDU5R8aiYqp5g7U9vE > =7GmR > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > 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 > -- “Lanie, I’m going to print more printers.
