Open Source The GPL and Second Life
I'll be discussing how LL's recent GPLing of the source code is starting to affect the community (both technical and non-technical members). Included in this talk will be more general discussion about open source in SL and what future lies ahead. The merits of the different FLOSS licenses will be reviewed and a few of the SL-related projects which have been generated by the community. It is my firm belief that in opening up the viewer and supporting open source in general, LL have laid out the path for Second Life and systems based upon it to expand in a way other 3D worlds would never have dreamed possible.
