While that may be his intention, you can't make a new Snowglobe by placing a patch in Jira, applying the patch to Snowglobe sources, and then distributing the resulting viewer as if it were a new version of Snowglobe, exempt from being a TPV.
If that were possible then everyone would do likewise with their own patches in order not to be caught by the TPV policy. So until SNOW-375 is committed into Snowglobe, Dzon is releasing a new viewer that is not Snowglobe, and it's clearly a TPV so it needs a name, which is why I asked what that name was. I expect that Linden Lab would not take kindly to such TPV clients derived from Snowglobe being called "Snowglobe-XXX" as a way of bypassing the TPV policy. Perhaps Merov could comment.
