[sldev] Linden Lab and unfair business practices

[Ian Betteridge]

Another simple fix: don't sell anymore openspace sims until they've
actually worked out a way to make them cost-effective (ie, profitable
for them, useful for us) to provide. And if they can't make them
cost-effective, don't sell them.

Which is my way of saying that this is a business issue, rather than a
technical one, and therefore probably not appropriate for this list ;)
