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

So for any malicious viewer developer, all he needs to do to avoid
sanction under the TPV policy is claim his viewer has no intention of
connecting to SL?

Or are you admitting that you cannot create a terms of use/service
policy that somehow obligates viewer developers to jump though your
hoops?

You should separate the obligations of users and developers, and make
clear the punishments for non-compliance for each.

As it is, one would be prudent to assume LL reserves the right to take
direct legal action against developers, which is quite frankly scary
for small open source developers.

Cheers,
