My comment: Quote:
This article is kindof ridiculously inaccurate.
Firstly, and most importantly, OpenSim isn't a reverse engineering of anything; there's no code from Second Life anywhere in it. While it utilizes libsl which was, in part, reverse-engineered by the libsecondlife group, OpenSim itself is not.
Secondly, this is only tangentially related to OpenSim at all. It looks like it was an exploit attacking Linux machines using HyperVM that were wiped; if OpenSim happened to be on it, then it was erased too as part of the attack. Your article implies that both OpenSim itself was targeted or vulnerable, and that the founder of LxLabs committed suicide in response to losing 100 OpenSim regions.
