Not optimal at all. I recommend that you ask the lawyers if it'd be OK to provide the example code as unrestricted freeware. GPL any utilities and support libraries if you like but it's probably in the Lab's interest to make it as easy as possible for everyone to try out the example code at least. -Melinda _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
