Would anyone be able to tell me about the warning for any one person not to
work on both the OpenSim source and a viewer such as Hippo? I understand
that there are licensing differences (BSD vs GPL respectively) and that
direct inclusion of GPL code in a BSD project breaks the GPL license.
Surely you could guard against such direct inclusion? Does this extend to
region modules and mini-region modules? I'm in the position of wanting to
make changes to the viewer and also to write MRMs or other modules.
