Are you saying that discontinued products should be made available for free or that they should be open-sourced?
I can't speak for clang_jangle, but I believe that software should be required to ship with buildable source if it is to qualify for copyright protection. It would be the software/copyright analogue of the disclosure required for patents. It would go some way to mitigating the problems caused by copyright as it is applied to software, abandonware being one of them.
Should we bundle brushes and paint with every painting in order for it to be a copyrighted work?
The whole reason of the standards and architecture discussion is to get away from some of the problems that Second Life now has being highly centralized. Rather than standardizing what they have now, they want to design a new more open and scalable system and then standardize that.
You always start off around mostly new people because all the new people are funneled through the same areas.. You might have found more if you had continued, but if you don't like it.. meh whateva

You should compile it yourself wicked fast compiler optimizations on top of your wicked fast install of Gentoo (which you also compiled yourself)
So clever
