Limited interoperability between Second Life and OpenSim
OpenSim is an interesting project, an open source server to host virtual worlds.
From the wikipedia page:
“OpenSimulator uses libsecondlife to handle communication between the client and server, so it is possible to connect to an OpenSim server using the Linden Lab Second Life client“.
Second Life and OpenSim can now enjoy a limited, yet very important, interoperability.
This is so important because OpenSim is forcing Linden Lab to think about their open source policy, in a way or another.
Don’t get me wrong: I don’t think that going open source is always THE only answer; some companies, such as Linden Lab, are at risk, and they can’t simply go out, open their code, and hope for the better.
Still, they need to focus on their strategic view, which of course implies going Open, sooner or later (like Facebook).
Otherwise, users (and businesses) will find better platforms, and migrate there.
