[opensource-dev] Third party viewer policy: commencement date

[Robert Martin]

While i agree that this maybe could have been phrased better if you
look the GPL Violation due to liability concerns may not actually be
valid

#include standardIANAL.h
the liability tree goes
LL is liable for the servers being fit for purpose and is also liable
for Gross Negligence for as distributed Viewers (secondlife): example
if somebody goes into a seizure due to using SL 2.0
or if something in the code decides to trash Windows.
A Person doing a from source compile is liable for any changes done
(adding bits and such)
Another person using a TPV is liable for anything done while using the TPV

in short everybody is only liable for what they can control
so if somebody changes a TPV and does a custom compile the TPV
distributor is not liable
(so a NielHack copy of say Emerald does not make the Emerald team liable)

Could a Linden please confirm all of this??
