Okay, a few things here.
1. MANY of AWCI's objects are public domain and distributed via their website. (AW, colony and COFMeta obs). However, they can only use the aw path as a whole (objects.activeworlds.com/aw) and not say the colony path (objects.activeworlds.com/colony). 2. If the objects dont belong to AWCI, theres grounds for legal action if the objects arent made public domain by the author. 3. Its possible that someone actually went through the painstaking task of recreating an object with their own code. [View Quote] > I am gona make a plea here since all my others fall on deaf ears.
