[sldev] What's Open Source? the SL viewer is, for one.

[Argent Stonecutter]

Dzonatas: there are many ways of operating, releasing, and managing  
an open source project and simply having a public repository and bug  
tracker is neither required nor sufficient. Open source is all about  
what you can do with the code, about the license and the availability  
of the shipped source code, not about the release process or patch  
acceptance policy. Open source was all about what you can do with the  
code long before it was known as "open source", long before there was  
a GPL or a BSDL or an MIT license.

I've had patches accepted by projects that released software ONLY as  
an unannounced dated tarball, and rejected by projects with open CVS  
and bugzilla. They're all open source. So is the SL viewer.
