[Opensim-dev] An Open Letter to Open Source and OpenSim Communities

[Adam Johnson]

Also, OpenViewer (formerly pyov) is multi-platform (Windows, and Linux
at the moment).  The said ActiveX control just allows the OpenViewer
project to run in IE.  There is nothing stopping anyone from creating
the same thing in Firefox on multiple platforms.  More or less, it's a
lack of resources.

OpenViewer also allows devs to commit to both OpenSim, and OpenViewer
without any "taint" issues to worry about.

If the rex team has legal advice on that matter, please share it with
us so that we can evaluate their legal advice properly.  One of the
main reasons for the strict policy is because there was no lawyer
available to provide that opinion.  It may be of help in changing the
policy.

Best Regards,
Adam Johnson

I'm a huge fan of the latter project and have been following it eagerly, but it's a different discussion when you are talking about building the Firefox of virtual worlds.
