[Opensim-dev] Super easy question

[diva at metaverseink.com]

This person could really use some help with writing in English...

Apart from that, Havok is not an option for the stock OpenSim 
distribution, because (1) it's not multi-platform; and (2) its use in 
commercial uses of OpenSim is not free.

There's nothing preventing anyone -- core devs, non-core devs and users 
included -- from plugging in Havok into OpenSim and distribute that. But 
as the stock OpenSim distribution goes, it's a no go for the 2 reasons 
mentioned above.
