[Opensim-users] SL Viewer policy (was Re: Question about IAR files)

[Karen Palen]

Notice that this initiative is addressing many potential abuses by viewer writers, but NOT "content theft" since this is simply not a viewer problem but a data stream problem!

Remember before the LL viewer was released as open source there were quite a few "proxy" tools, early versions of "copybot" among them!
