"Light use" may be somewhat vague, but the policy explicitly forbids renting and living in. LL may have changed some policies about OSs, used them themselves that go against this policy, and even let people go with them for too far, but they never changed this description. Some people were using them for obviously more than what was intended, yet very few seem upset about that.

But Linden Lab continued selling them in the hundreds - fully aware of how they were being used. If the OS sim use was being 'abused', they should have either come down on the 'abusers', or offered a higher tier level for anything more than 'light' use, ages ago. I mean how long has this been going on? It must be near enough two years now? I can't recall, but it's certainly more than a few months.
