[Opensim-dev] OpenSim - New Mumble/Murmur Module

[Diva Canto]

This sounds really exciting!

I'm not familiar with that clause you mention to BSD but it reads 
effectively like an LGPL license. I think that will be a problem for 
inclusion in core. We could include a dll, but given that the OpenSim 
API is still very unstable, that's probably not a good option at this point.

However, starting in the upcoming release, we will have a proper package 
manager in place: mono addins and its mautil tool. What this means is 
that it will be much easier for people to distribute extensions to 
opensim without having to include them in the core distribution. I, for 
one, am planning to make extensive use of this.

As such, you can have your Mumble module available in source code using 
whatever license you want, and available as a [binary] package from your 
own repository that is very easy for ppl to install and update -- as 
long as you keep producing updated packages. See:
