Just to clarify something...

JL did not take the money donated to BT and start another business. He used the money to pay the monthly connection costs for a server for BT, as well as a new server itself.

It is my understanding that the money BT continues to make today continues to fund the connection to the Internet, as well as 4 islands in Second Life.

JL is an employee of Linden Labs, the company behind Second Life. He had nothing to do with the company's founding.
