[Opensim-dev] ReactionGrid Inc. files for US Patent

[Shaun Erickson]

I run all my OpenSim code on OpenSUSE 11.3 in VMs under VMware ESXi on multiple hosts. I certainly hope they aren't trying to patent such an idea as virtualizing OpenSim, as I know I would not stop nor would I pay royalties.

There must be more to this than it seems on the face of it, that we just haven't seen yet, is my guess.
