[Opensim-dev] www.opensim.net

Going by:

*121*days until
*OpenSim.net Grid Launch Party
*

at the upper left of the page I'd guess this the homepage (or future 
homepage) of someone's new grid.  I think someone may need to read the 
OpenSim license - maybe the part where it states:

" *     * Neither the name of the OpenSimulator Project nor the
  *       names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote 
products
  *       derived from this software without specific prior written 
permission."
