I've been a lurker here but are you KIDDING ME? When Linden Labs open sourced Second Life, they were right along side us saying to proprietary content developers YOU CANNOT PROTECT YOUR CONTENT. Has that changed now and Linden labs is protecting people who make their binary blobs and think they should be protected??? Linden Labs says if we don't cooperate then o noes we'll get throttled. If Linden Labs closes the source your going to have a lot of angry coders on your hands and just to show it content "theft" and "griefing" will skyrocket! Lindens should be staying with their promises, Open Source has contributed more to Second Life than people who make shoes that they want to keep proprietary and not share. I'll say it again you canot protect content. Ever. DRM goes against the spirit of Open Source and if content creators cant get with that then they should find a new business and it shouldnt be on the INTERNET. I never get "griefed" in secondlife anymore. anyways if Linden Labs wants to fight against the Open Source community they can TRY but they wont win. We can fork and we can make a place where open freedoms are respected. _______________________________________________ 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
