We + need an update. After much discussion and evaluation, and too much + delay, I decided to fork and modify the Imprudence 1.4.0 code base + to our requirements. Thus the meta-impy viewer was born. This time + around I will try to keep up with the upstream changes. + + I agree with the Imprudence manifesto. I also have my own ideas + about how code should be written, and how the mess that is the LL + code base should be morphed into something sane. I don't think that + moving to the SL 2 code base is such a good idea. Even now I still + see problems from the move to the SL 1.23 code base. I thought + moving from 1.22 was a bad idea to. LL has us playing catch up at + their chosen pace. We should just fix up their horrid code and + streak ahead of them. + + Since this is being done for meta7, and meta7 does not care about LL + TPVP, somethings are just going to be changed specifically to suit + the meta7 grid. On the other hand, there are some things we might + implement that are of general usefulness, or already on the Impy + wish list. I will try to write them such that Impy developers can + cherry pick those things, then let the Impy developers know. + + Note, since we don't care about LL TPVP, it's likely that meta7 + viewers will not be TPVP compliant. Meta 7 viewers are made for use + on the meta7 grid. They will probably work on the SL grid, but that + is not important to us, and not recommended by us. Use at your own + risk on the SL grid. + + LICENSE + + All code is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public + License version 2.0 (plus a special exception). + + See linden/LICENSE-source.txt for details. + + + DISCLAIMERS AND NOTICES + + Second Life is a registered trademark of Linden Research, Inc. + + Imprudence is in no way affiliated with Linden Research, Inc. + + meta7 and/or Magne Metaverse Reasearch are in no way affiliated with Linden Research, Inc. -- cgit v1.1
