It's very easy to brush difficult issues under the rug of "I don't care, 
this is ethics, not technical, hence it's FUD". You're entitled to that 
stand. Give your -1 on whatever is being proposed and stay out of the 
rest of the conversation, instead of trying to "FUD the FUD." Some of us 
care about these difficult issues. Having a co-copyright holder who 
releases an addon to opensim under a discriminatory license (in this 
case based on country, but could be based on race, gender, sexual 
orientation,...) is not something some of us can ignore. Unclear if/what 
we should do about it, but clear that this is bugging a lot of people, 
not just core devs, and hence it should be discussed not ignored.
