- Linden Research, Inc. ("Linden Lab") Viewer FLOSS License Exception v0.5
- The Linden Lab Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only
- Applications Using Linden Lab Viewer Software (the "FLOSS Exception").
- Exception Intent
- Linden Lab is releasing the source code for certain software that
- enables users to view or otherwise access the Second Life virtual
- world environment (the "Viewer Software"), under version 2 of the GNU
- General Public License (the "GPL"). The creation or distribution of
- works based on the Program (as defined under the GPL) of the Viewer
- Software may require the use of certain Free/Libre and Open Source
- Software ("FLOSS") works that are subject to license agreements not
- compatible with re-licensing under the GPL. Because we want to allow
- the Viewer Software to be distributed with these FLOSS works, this
- FLOSS Exception following exception applies subject to the terms and
- conditions below.
- Legal Terms and Conditions
- As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0 of
- the GPL:
- You are free to distribute a work based on the Program that is formed
- entirely from the Viewer Software (and any modifications thereof) and
- one or more works that are independent and separate works not derived
- from the Viewer Software, and are licensed under one or more of the
- licenses listed below in section 1 (each, a "FLOSS Work") , as long
- as:
- A. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Viewer Software and any
- work based on the Program, except for the FLOSS Works, for which
- you must comply with B below,
- B. all FLOSS Works,
- i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
- listed below, and
- ii. the object code or executable form of the FLOSS Works are
- accompanied by the complete corresponding
- machine-readable source code for those FLOSS Works on the
- same medium and under the same FLOSS license as the
- corresponding object code or executable forms thereof,
- and
- C. any works that are aggregated with the Viewer Software or a work
- based on the Program on a volume of a storage or distribution
- medium in accordance with the GPL, and are not licensed under
- the FLOSS licenses listed below, are independent and separate
- works in themselves which are not derivatives of either the
- Viewer Software, a work based on the Program or a FLOSS Work.
- If the above conditions are not met, then the Viewer Software may only
- be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
- conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from Linden
- Lab.

- 3. Applicability
- This FLOSS Exception applies to all Viewer Software files that contain
- a notice placed by Linden Lab saying that the Viewer Software may be
- distributed under the terms of this FLOSS Exception. If you create or
- distribute a work which is a work based on the Program for the Viewer
- Software and any other work licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS
- Exception is not available for that work; thus, you must remove the
- FLOSS Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
- respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may choose to
- redistribute a copy of the Viewer Software exclusively under the terms
- of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice from that copy of
- the Viewer Software, provided that the copy has never been modified by
- you or any third party.
