Bad Code

I didn't code before using LSL. FFHUD scripts should probably be rewritten from scratch by someone that knows how to do it.
Please feel free to leave comments about how we could improve FFHUD code.

ToS issues

I'm not sure if and how should I manage these issues, Any constructive comment is welcome!

• with FFHUD you publish a post on FriendFeed that includes an URL to images from the Second Life Search. FriendFeed retrieves and hosts a copy of that image and shows it in your post.
  • I think that re-publishing a low-sized image providing credits and context is common practice on the internet. One could do this with the FriendFeed web interface, and I don't think that this would raise issues. Not sure about the precise legal status, though.--oobscure 18:25, 13 June 2008 (PDT)

• FFHUD privately shows via llSetTexture the profile image of the parcel owner. Usually you wouldn't have access to those textures - you only could see them in the Search/Profile/Group floating windows.
  • According to http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryDisplayProfilePic this maybe a violation of ToS.
  • Apparently images only get published according to residents' privacy settings (example)
  • I'm not sure if this means that I have to stop publishing this code, and/or that I'm supposed to put disclaimers/warning messages (and what to write in them), and/or if I should change the HUD default behaviour.--oobscure 18:25, 13 June 2008 (PDT)
