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


* 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.'''
See also [https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/secondlifescripters/2009-March/004340.html this email by Soft Linden] about the inworld use of profile images by using their UUIDs (and about retrieving UUIDs from world.secondlife.com webpages)
** 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.--[[User:Opensource Obscure|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 ([http://friendfeed.com/e/afa3137d-e9d7-4fee-aa35-94b9f7f28687/Derleth-Evita-Park/ example])
* 0.7.3 cosmetics, dogfooding
** 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.--[[User:Opensource Obscure|oobscure]] 18:25, 13 June 2008 (PDT)

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.

Not really sure about the rest of the HUD, but I wanted to add that you can do strReplace() a lot more simply:<lsl>string strReplace(string source, string pattern, string replace) {
   return llDumpList2String(llParseStringKeepNulls((source = "") + source, [pattern], replace);

}</lsl>Is a lot faster and uses a ton less memory

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. 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.
