There does seem to be a common theme to many complaints. Hopefully, however, one of several things will happen: a) Croquet will develop into a truly viable alternative for those people b) Linden Lab will move SL into open source more quickly than they suggested might be the case c) another alternative (Multiverse?) will fill the void But one thing in particular will still be an issue: hosting. Even if SL went open source, LL would still have their own "world" and people would use it (even those who routinely complain). There are real advantages to throwing in your chips will a company that has: experience, technical knowledge, and - importantly - legal counsel. Going it alone ala Croquet on your home-based server could be tricky given all the script-kiddies, hackers and griefers. For all their bravado and anti-corporate blather, it's their activities that reinforce the very institutions they so often claim to detest. It's easy to embrace anarchy when you've created nothing and have nothing to lose. Agree with the tone of your comments. There does seem to be a common theme to many complaints.

Going it alone ala Croquet on your home-based server could be tricky given all the script-kiddies, hackers and griefers. For all their bravado and anti-corporate blather, it’s their activities that reinforce the very institutions they so often claim to detest. It’s easy to embrace anarchy when you’ve created nothing and have nothing to lose.
