[Opensim-users] The Patent LL was awarded in Dec 2014

[Diva Canto]

No. Those topics just shouldn't be mentioned in these mailing lists. You 
can talk about them anywhere else, but not here.
Anything related to patents is a grey area, so the less developers are 
explicitly exposed to it, the less liabilities the entire project will 
be under.

Now please respect the request and do not bring this topic again here. 
As I said, you can talk about it anywhere else you want, but not here.
