I want a grid where people can have the freedom to develop what they want and do what they want, without being told whats allowed, and without being watched because you might move the wrong bits from one place to another. and without lindens threatening if we dont "play nice" with draconinan DRM.

Simply the facts that my scripts are NOT to be ported to other grids unless I am certain the source code, which would be uploaded by me only, is protected. Any other way of porting my scripts to other grids and to use it there is theft. On 14 March 2010 23:29, New Hax wrote: > No im not kidding

No im not kidding, whats going to stop people from taking your scripts, when you can hop from one grid to another? Interoperability? The sim owner can take your scripts. For now scripts are protected because Linden Labs owns the code. On 3/14/10, Marine Kelley wrote: > You are kidding here, righ
