disagree, you can develop your viewer without violate any license, gpol
neither tpv, nobody put limit to your development roadmap

rules are for customers of LL, they can use all viewer they want, but
only if TPV compliant

GPL license of viewer and TPV are two parallel universe totally
unbinded each other

you developer are subject only to GPL license....

nail (bsd) and gpl licenses are totally free from TPV...

all LL are doing is same already done by a lot of other company than
release their software under GPL, but have restriction to use server
side services/software (netscape, vmware, novel, etc.etc.)
why their opensource developers don't do so much noise and understand
in short time all about the "new" scenario? :)
