Already looked in to it, at the time they were apprehensive about giving 
SL a free scan because they were already in talks with LL about a paid 
contract (for the client and simulator code). They said if the contract 
does get established and LL approves they will give OSS developers 
access to the results, or if they add C# compatibility they will offer a 
free scan of libsecondlife.
