Since before the viewer went open source, Linden Lab has had an SL Developer program for the solution providers listed in the SL Developer directory at http://solutionproviders.secondlife.com . It's the same group that has the SLDEV and SLDEVu islands and the SLDEV group in-world. I don't know the history of how open source ended up on a list with the same name.
