When Openspaces came out, Linden Lab made it clear they were for light use only. Plus they gave examples of what *not* to do with them. Two examples are: not to be rented out and not to be lived in. Through-out the changes they made to Openspaces, they never changed this description. I agree that the changes they made and LL's own actual usage of OSs did make it seem like you were allowed to do more, but there was *no* official policy change.
I understand why people are pissed at LL. What I don't understand is why it seems noone is mad at the people abusing them.
MoxZ, I'm not saying your landlord was an abuser. Perhaps her OSs were very low lag and, as such, even though they go against the Linden's usage policy, I wouldn't call that abuse. Abuse starts when you use them in a laggy manner. But, she knowingly rented you OS land to live on and didn't make it clear it was OS land? And you're not upset, even to the slightest bit, with her, too? I don't know. If it were me, I'd feel duped by the landlord (and be upset with LL).
(to be clear, the thing to be upset about is not being informed that it was OS and what that meant)
