An interesting turn in the copybot saga to say the least.
Possibly the first time a hacker/griefer has helped catalyzed the public release of corporate source code in the MMO industry. Is this rewarding the behavior? Is this going to solve the problem? I dunno, but you gotta hand it to them, Linden knows how to kick the Buzz Bouncer in the Billy.

Now they’re touting themselves as instantly the largest open-source project in the world.
Good grief(er).
