I would like to comment to this Perrie . SL knows . In the beginning of the discussions about Open Sims many people in SL went to go and set up other grids. The discussion with Linden was the plan originally was that Open Sims would eventually open up and allow tp and other avenues to the open grids from Second Life. Those connections didn't happen. There are many Open Sims now that have similar platforms to the Second Life grid. LL was involved in the beginning and accepting of the open sim direction. There were signs all over Second Life advertising the Open Sim meetings and forums.
