As regards to OpenSim contributions, I doubt that the viewer license change to LGPL will make any difference.  LGPL just 
makes it possible to link non-GPL code to the viewer code.  The viewer code itself is still virally licensed.

I'm curious if this licensing change might not have an impact on that and I'd request that the core team consider it and respond with any changes in status as your time permits.
