The irony is I have a feeling the fact that whether or not TPVs will continue to be able to use Havoc (if they even are right now), and the popularity of TPVs with the established base, is that this is likely to force Linden Research back into a position where they may need to either strongarm Havoc or drop them to keep customers. I honestly can't see them going back to a closed source model, if only because it would require re-implementation from scratch of a great deal of code they've already GPL'd (since that's a one-way decision).
