I'm not sure about legal issues. Maybe I should write a disclaimer, but what to write in it?...I don't know. Any constructive comment is welcome!
None. FFHUD distribution and use is OK. I asked advice to Zara Linden at G-Team Office Hours about publishing residents profile images on 3rd party websites --oobscure 14:54, 27 August 2008 (PDT)


* 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.'''
If one publishes on his/her web blog the profile image of another Second Life resident, even without his authorization, s/he doesn't violate Community Standards nor Terms of Service. This is true even if he/she updates his/her blog via LSL scripted objects. LL doesn't monitor 3rd party websites, in FFHUD scenario the blog itself is hosted elsewhere and LL doesn't have authority over that server.
* Profile images appear on the Second Life Search website according to residents' and groups' privacy settings. '''Pictures don't get re-published on FriendFeed if residents are hiding their profile'''.
* Re-publishing a low-sized image while 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 any legal issue.
* According to http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=16 , ''LL’s placing profile images on the Web is a clear indication that they want to share those images with the Web-at-large''
* According to http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=LibraryDisplayProfilePic , ''capturing resident profile picture without permission'' may be a violation of ToS. However that's about a different tool (an in-world Profile prim scanner / greeter).
* '''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. However. FFHUD doesn't show pictures in-world.

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

None. FFHUD distribution and use is OK. I asked advice to Zara Linden at G-Team Office Hours about publishing residents profile images on 3rd party websites --oobscure 14:54, 27 August 2008 (PDT)

If one publishes on his/her web blog the profile image of another Second Life resident, even without his authorization, s/he doesn't violate Community Standards nor Terms of Service. This is true even if he/she updates his/her blog via LSL scripted objects.
