<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">IANAL either, but as the software is currently BSD licensed, anyone<br>
can take it, spin a release off it and sell it. So I would assume<br>
that core could go and make it closed and commercial, which means<br>
the last release would remain BSD and all future development could<br>
be closed. That is possible even today, independent of any<br>
contributor's agreements.<br>
<br>
However, core has been working under the 6 month clause and other<br>
constraints to keep OpenSim BSD for a long time, so I don't see any<br>
reason to believe this would ever come to pass, one way or the<br>
other. We have no interest in making OpenSim core closed source.<br>
