I agree that this is very unfortunate wording on part of Linden Lab. I
have got a lot of concerned emails and some comments on the site[1]
"will I be banned if I continue to use Radegast" due to that "beware"
sentence on the directory page. Some of the emails I got were almost
panicky. I hope the wording can be changed in order not to cause panic
and uncertainty among TPV users.
