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 about legal issues. Maybe I should write a disclaimer, but what to write in it?...I don't know. 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.
• 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.
