I think gigs meant it's not a ruling in the sense of something legally
binding like a court ruling would be, it's not even really legal
advice.
Anyway, the current amended policy seems much more reasonable and i'd
think the FSF would agree.

As Joe explained in the brown bag currently going on at the time of this
writing, you'd be required to end distributing the version that connects to
SL. In other words you will be required to remove support for SL.

I don't think Brett fully considered the implications of:
"You acknowledge and agree that we may require you to stop using or
distributing a Third-Party Viewer for accessing Second Life if we
determine that there is a violation."
Which is clearly in conflict with the GPL.
