For more information about the + project, see: + + http://github.com/jacek/sl-viewer-source-archive/ + + + PURPOSE + + The purpose of the archive is to provide a base for viewer + forks or patch development and a convenient method for viewing + and merging the diffs between releases via the Git version + control system. + + + CONTENTS + + The archive contains the full source code for every official, + versioned release and release candidate of the Second Life + viewer since January 2007, when the viewer code was first + released. + + The archive does not contain the source for betas, "First + Look" viewers, dated snapshots, or development branches, + because it is infeasible to deduce their ancestral + relationship to other versions. + + The archive also does not contain the viewer artwork or + required libraries, for space and licensing reasons. + + As of this writing, these other resources (as well as all + code contained in the archive) are available for download + from Linden Research, Inc.: + + http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Source_downloads + + + LICENSE + + All code in the archive has been released by Linden Research + Inc. under the terms of the GNU General Public License version + 2.0 (plus a special exception).
