Alright lately I have been getting overwhelmed with all the drama of the oldest argument in the world of internet technologies. So who should win? Big business or opensource projects? Well the answer is simple, THE ARE NOT AT WAR!!!!</p>

So let us start off with the ATTACK against an innocent content contribute to the opensim community. Linda Kellie, is a large fan girl of opensim, and that is all she is. She is just like everyone else who uses opensim, she just so happens to release all her stuff completely free on a website. She does this because she likes to see people use her stuff. She doesn't want any sort of credit, in fact all of her stuff is completely royalty free. The only reason people are upset with her is because she has influence in the opensim community, how? Because she just gives away stuff, that doesn't mean she is a representative of the opensim community.

Next onto the SpotOn3D, I am sick and tired of people upset with this grid obtaining patents on OpenSimulator. Hell did you know that most of your human body organs is patented by medical companies, I am not lying it is!!! Now, why I am not throwing a fit about all the patents they have. Well  my answer is super simple: I MUCH RATHER HAVE SPOTON3D HAVE THE PATENTS THAN A COMPANY WHO IS SUE HAPPY LIKE WORLDS INC. I know Tessa from a while back, and well I am pretty sure she is not going to use these to stop opensource development? Why because she needs it too, just like any company using opensource. She has her grid upgraded with each opensim release, so honestly, yeah I don't think she is a threat, I think of her as a protector of the development since they are not contributing back code wise, but as long as she doesn't abuse the power of these patents she is protected the sourcecode from companies like Worlds Inc.
Now onto SecondLife with its latest changes to the viewer, now I am upset like the rest of you. But we need to realize that, OPENSIM NEEDED TO BREAK AWAYWAYS, this is good in my opinion. This opens so many new doors, let us make our own changes viewer side as well as server side, we will no longer have to rely on mimicing SecondLife's new features to make our own versions of them. Let us start going a bit more original, come up with features that will be kinda like a slap in the face and make SecondLife really upset that they dropped us, by introducing features they haven't even thought of yet. I know we can do it, we are a strong and large community, so why don't we push to make it happen.

Side not on viewers: I read that people are upset with Firestorm Team about the whole thing with them getting Armin and that they attacked the angstrom viewer dev. I was in the Aurora-Dev channel when it all went down, they were just upset and asked why the credits of firestorm were removed? They felt really upset that all their work would go un-credited. I would be sad and upset too, but it wasn't really an attack, but while they were there, I spoke with them and was able to show them how many people use their viewer on OSgrid thanks to key's blog. So yeah, just wanted to get that out there, GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
