Seems our friends at worlds.com are keen to get mit alpha male on our collective virtual posteriors. Worlds.com is seeking to enforces its patents on Virtual World technology.
Not particularly worried about the commercial side of things, it is just the Open Source issues that concern me. Open Source facilitates much research, and if Worlds.com decide to try and monopolise the area, then researchers like me and my kith and kin are in trouble, as they can dictate very restrictive terms on the use of software.
I will be following this one very closely indeed.
