It also prevents third-party viewers from notifying users that updates are available, including security updates. Whole bunch of other stuff too - for example the official Second Life login screen doesn't actually work on unofficial viewers. Besides, both incidents like this and undisclosed monitoring of usage violate the TPV policy anyway (and at least one of Emerald's privacy issues didn't involve connecting to any non-LL server at all). Have you taken a look at Imprudence's Privacy Policy, for example (http://imprudenceviewer.org/wiki/Imprudence:Privacy_policy)? This is roughly the level of disclosure the policy calls for regarding data collection associated with viewer use (the information related to the website goes beyond what the policy requires). I assume Emerald has a similar page somewhere too. _______________________________________________ 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
