[Opensim-dev] WG: Legal Issues was RFC Profiles

[Andrew Yourtchenko]

ok, so probably makes sense to cluster this item around (e) ? with two
scenarios:

(e1) I paid a fortune to thank this green elf for my green elf wings I
got [ same-grid ]
(e2) "Arthur Dent was flying to Betelgeuse to talk to the author of
the '42' book" [hypergrid]

anything else ?

cheers,
andrew
