Seriously.
On a note, with the FLOSS exception not including the licenses for
Quicktime, FMOD and Vivox..I sense a massive oversight on part of LL
here. This quite frankly renders third party viewers useless for most
residents. Those who don't care about any Backgrounds and want their
voice and streaming videos.
I can't check right now, but does anybody have insight about how
much/if Vivox actually gets linked dynamically? If it's merely the
seperate SLvoice.exe that gets started with parameters that uses the
dlls, it still can be used by a GPL/FLOSS viewer, as that'd pretty
much fall under the 'plug-in' exception in the GPL.
