[Opensim-dev] future rexviewer merger

[John Sheridan]

Forgive me for going off topic here, but is there some technical or 
legal reason why those who work on OpenSim can't look at the viewer's 
code?  It would only seem logical that since the viewer's source is open 
that you would have the ability to go in and poke around.

Sorry, but I'm pretty much new to how open source development projects 
work.  I've been a solitary developer for some time now, hence I've been 
watching how you guys operate in order to get a feel for the intricacies 
of what an open sourced project would entail.

Thanks, ;)
