 The change in encryption was simply a result of inertia being able to
 decode the viewer window title information.


It is my understanding that the emku was placing the hidden viewer window
title information into the baked textures. So in one sentence you are saying
the information was removed. And in the next you are saying it is still
there just encrypted better so others cannot decode it and out you. Which is
it?

Why does creating an alt mean your jumping on LL's side? Why are there sides
anyway?

If it is an important enough issue to you, you should find a way.

I understand it, the ToS and associated policies are by account, every alt
account you sign in with has to accept them individually.

Re: [opensource-dev] New TOS - Compulsory patent licensing gone?

2010-04-01 Thread Simon Disk
Could be wrong but I read the new ToS as lumping patent rights under
Intelectual Property Rights and then compelling the user to grant a license
under IPR (and therefore also patent rights).

Under section 4.1 it defines IPR as:

Intellectual Property Rights means copyrights, trademarks, service marks,
trade dress, publicity rights, database rights, *patent rights*, and other
intellectual property rights or proprietary rights recognized by law.

Then under section 7.1:

You retain any and all *Intellectual Property Rights* you already hold under
applicable law in Content you upload, publish, and submit to or through the
Servers, Websites, and other areas of the Service, subject to the rights,
licenses, and other terms of this Agreement, including any underlying rights
of other users or Linden Lab in Content that you may use or modify.

Then under 7.2:

You agree that by uploading, publishing, or submitting any Content to or
through the Servers, Websites, or other areas of the Service, you hereby
automatically grant Linden Lab a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free,
sublicenseable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute,
prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content solely for the
purposes of providing and promoting the Service.

[opensource-dev] A note on preserving NO WARRANTY for SL TPV developers

2010-03-30 Thread Simon Disk
I think I have read a different TPV policy than most people here. I do not
see how clauses 11 and 12 are being overridden. Both clauses stipulate that
the GPL cannot be used to violate the law. So when you use a TPV and connect
to the SL grid and then steal content that you did not create or disrupt
Linden Lab's service, those clauses no longer apply to you.
