Re: [mmox] RealExtend Teleporting Between Worlds

"Anyone looking at those trees can tell they aren't Linden trees of
the standard issue, but look more like Lilith Heart trees"

To discover the actual identity of those trees, parhaps you should
contact Jani.   To me, they looked like 'standard linden trees', to
you they look like 'Lillith Heart' trees.

"BTW, did the Lindens let you copy their tree-generating program, and
do they mind if you port that capacity into other worlds? Because
Linden trees are special, in that they can blow in the wind and such
the way home-made trees can't."

The lindens license their client under the GPL, they licence the
multimedia content under the Creative Commons Sharealike license.  The
'algorithm' for rendering the trees is in the client.  The multimedia
used in the trees are in the client.  Therefore, the onus here is on
realXtend to comply with the GPL and CC Sharealike licenses regarding
displaying 'standard Linden' trees.

"Some of the Linden trees are nice, but I have to wonder, if you were
going to make another world, even a clone-world reverse-engineered,
why on earth would you copy that dying cocoanut tree and the weird eel
grass?! Couldn't you make something different over there?"

LOL, indeed, indeed :D
