Fractured is correct regarding Onyx not breaking GPL. That's how LL was able to legally keep Viewer 2 under wraps for so long.

I wasn't really talking about malicious code, though. I was just talking about protection from the worst-case scenario where a client has an unintended bug in it that causes rolling restarts, then LL comes after the 3rd party dev for damages. I meant to talk about incompetent coders, not malicious coders (I know that none of the coders on this mailing list fit either description, but it's still something to think about). Even LL sidesteps liability for damages done by the official viewer, so why shouldn't 3rd party devs try to do the same thing? On a different subject: Is Fractured Crystal correct in the following video when he says that he is not breaking TOS with the Onyx viewer because he only distributes the source code and not the binaries of it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbV9SIbdCA&feature=player_embedded <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbV9SIbdCA&feature=player_embedded> Thanks, ~Bubblesort Triskaidekaphobia _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available he...
