Opensim is all reverse engineered, I don't know why there's this silly "opensim wasn't reverse engineered" meme flying around - it's like a dirty little secret people are trying to cover up.
Yes, libsl did lots of reverse engineering first - but they didn't do the whole lot. Perhaps your confusion stems from the statement "there's no code from second life anywhere in it" - putting LL's code into opensim wouldn't be reverse engineering would it?
LL never released full details of how to implement an
SL-compatible server, it was reverse engineered
and there is nothing wrong with that.

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.

Another article implied linux as an OS is vulnerable, rather than just hyperVM - silly silly "journalists".........
