[Frisby, Adam]

Just a small casual reminder for software developers, if you go looking at software patents and then write infringing code, you may face treble damages. For that reason it's oft recommended that you wait for the person making claims of infringement to come to you first, as right now as best we're aware, OpenSim isn't patent encumbered.

Regards,

Adam

Hopefully this won't affect OpenSim, but it might!
