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

[Ryan McDougall]

So any software that implements SLUDP is a TPV, and subject to you
policy? Because if it *can* log into SL, and someone *does* one day
log into SL, then it's "any third-party software client on any device
that logs into our servers"?

If so, in effect, the TPV policy governs all SL protocols?

Cheers,
