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.

So, just to clarify.....
Not mentioning anything specifically, no topics that may be "dodgy" but if something had a chance
of being a threat to the future of OpenSimulator (whatever that something may be), if it is a "forbidden
topic" then as a community we should pursue a "head in the sands" approach to it?
I'm just curious - and I am not mentioning any unmentionables.

Doug,
It has nothing to do with being open or not, but we have very good reasons that
we do not discuss such things here. Please honor the request to refrain from
discussing this topic.
Thanks,

Wow. One is not even allowed to discuss patents on this list?
So much for the "open" part ......

DO NOT SEND ANY LINKS TO ANY PATENTS TO THE MAILING LISTS HOSTED AT OUR SERVER.
DO NOT DISCUSS PATENTS IN THESE MAILING LISTS.
It doesn't matter who the assignee is. Open source and patents don't mix.
If you want to cause FUD do it in your own server or on social networks.
The next person who does this will be kicked out of the mailing list without
warning.

And before you blow it off by saying it applies to "every MMO ever" or similar, I should
point out that "every MMO ever" isn't competing directly with Linden Lab.
See you in SL(/2)!
