An Intro To OpenSim, the Apache of Virtual Worlds

ajohnj1 writes with an excerpt from Ostatic: "You've probably read a bit about OpenSim, the BSD-licensed virtual world server, and recent news that IBM and Linden Lab are working to make Second Life and Open Sim interoperable. Besides that project, what's Open Sim about, who's working on it, what are they doing with it, and how do you get involved as a developer and participant? Here's a starter's guide."

Re:C# and BSD license?

[Mr. Slippery]

Wouldn't it be wiser to spend that effort working on a project that makes C# more open source friendly

Not possible. So long as Microsoft retains the ability to attack Mono through patent suits, C# cannot be "open source friendly".

C# is a poison pill that Microsoft would love to see the F/OSS community swallow.
