There are many many other issues. * It gives Linden Lab the ability to delete your private data: "You agree to update or delete at our request any data that you have received from Second Life " * It includes vague terms that are open ended: "You must not violate or promote violation of any law or the rights of any individual or entity" Any law? Including Muslim law? I guess depictions of homosexuality or women wearing normal clothes are right out. "if you are a Developer, you are also responsible for all Third-Party Viewers that you develop or distribute." Responsible in what way? No one is going to accept liability for what their users do with the viewer software. The GPL specifically allows developers to disclaim responsibility. Here you give it back to them. "Expose Second Life users, Linden Lab, or third parties to legal liability or harm as determined by us in our sole discretion." How the hell are we supposed to prevent our users from exposing themselves to legal liability or harm? The Internet is a big dangerous place. We can't be responsible for what users do. Period. "we may request that you add, modify, or remove features, functionality, code or content, and you agree to comply with the request within a reasonable timeframe specified by Linden Lab." The remedy should be solely limited to termination of access to the Second Life service. Linden Lab should not be able to "assign work" to open source developers. *No* developer should subject themselves to the terms of this draconian "policy". We are going to need to know how we can "opt-out" of this and prevent our viewers from connecting to the Second Life service while remaining protocol compatible. The way that it's written, you apparently wind up bound by it if your users connect to Second Life even if you don't want them to. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
