It seems to me that a lot of the bugs found in the viewer were found by people just reading the source.
You don't need to Open Source a working version of the server code. Just put a bunch of it out there for people to read. I bet they will find all sorts of bugs just by eye. This means no disrespect to Linden employees. I am sure they would find defects in my code, too. 8-) ell I would much rather see bugs fixed, stability improved, and new features introduced than see any more time wasted on open sourcing SL. We can't go a week without seeing some sort of service issue, such as the downtime happening as of this writing related to the asset server, and that won't get any better by ignoring the issues that need to be dealt with so people can try to reinvent the wheel with their own server. Not to mention the legal liabilities.
Linden Labs, you should respect the majority of the Second Life residents and close the source permanently, rather than listen to a small group of people with their own self serving interests driving the push for open source. Burnman, would you mind making it clear for me why without thousands of volunteers all over the world working on fixing bugs, improving stability and developing new features, having just a few LL employees (paid employees) working on alll the thousands of stuff needing to be worked on it would actually have the development be faster instead of slower, please?

Open Source the sim code - faster!
please get this done asap so you guys can stop doing stuff I consider broadlly offensive (like instigating a witch hunt on grownups playing with virtual dolls)
hell, if you could at least release a crippled server code that can connect to the main grid, people would help you get it fully operational, and probably faster than what you guys are managing to
