Foundation
Block Viewer stands on the open-source Aurora Viewer codebase. We keep that engine, protocol work, and GPL lineage, and build on top of it for a different audience — Block’s look, tools, and product direction — rather than shipping Aurora under another name.
-
What we keep
GPL-compatible lineage, protocol expectations, and the hard-won viewer engineering published as open source. Full credit lives in NOTICE and the licences guide.
-
What we change
Product name, branding, UI chrome, packaging, and the roadmap aimed at Block users — not a drop-in Aurora rebadge.
-
Not affiliated
Not an official Aurora Viewer release. Not affiliated with Linden Lab or Second Life.
-
Sister project
Block (GPPI) is the post-processing injector for other viewers. Separate repository — do not conflate downloads or issues.
