Well, not just the impression :-)

I actually earned money from SL, and after more than a year here with
tier and premium account I still earned more than I spent. I like that
:-)

The commercialism doesn't really annoy me as I just don't go to the
places that are full of it. There are actually places on the grid that
aren't all full of malls.

Agreed

Agreed! I think it would also do good by clarifying what we're up to.

I've had to explain that yes, people who license their work under the
GPL also sue for copyright infringement :-)
