Image:OpenSim20070914.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm not sure if it's appropiate to list litesim under opensim grids as it does not actually run stock opensim. (In fact, we're slowly moving things away from the opensim platform piece by piece). Thoughts on this would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GarethNelson ( talk) 15:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Should there be something on it's history? How did it come about? Surely this info was gathered by the opensim team earlier in 2009? ale 10:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shomon ( talk • contribs)
It should be mentioned what game engine it uses; see Talk:Second_Life#Game_engine

The official Linden Lab Second Life viewer can no longer be used with OpenSimulator which employs a different physics engine (ODE or Bullet rather than Havok) and has dropped the --loginuri command-line option formerly used to login to OpenSimulator grids. A number of third-party viewers continue to support OpenSimulator by way of a special edition, e.g. Firestorm viewer (also Kokua, Alchemy, Singularity, Lumiya).

I don't think OpenSimulator was ever 100% compatible, because of the proprietary code in Second Life. The Havok code used is one of the big problems, and third-party viewers can't get the Havok code needed for their Linux versions. Mostly that doesn't matter, but for Linux users some viewers are labelled as OpenSimulator compatible, and are used for both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.70.26 ( talk) 08:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
