Over in Resident Answers, the question was asked:
"Is there a "clearinghouse" in SL or outside of SL where you can find "all things created by Lindens?"

For example. I stumbled across a really nice fire-set-up complete with logs, fire, fire grate and crackling sounds. It was made by a Linden and "Free to Copy."

I've read in the forum about an "open source" boat script created by Cory Linden. But I have no idea where to find it.

So the little conspiracy theorist inside my brain wonders, 'where does everyone get this stuff, and why don't i know about it?'"

Its a GREAT question. Sometimes I'll find a Linden thing in someone else's build, but its now been made no-copy. The original copy version is around SOMEWHERE! I've wandered the grid for hours peering into dust bins and freebie boxes searching for Linden things. I've been to Stillman, Ahern, Waterhead. Help and the Wiki and the forums are great for scripts, but what about some of the other things?

Is there a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" like warehouse where we can rummage?
If not, and if someone were to build such a warehouse for everyone's use, would the Lindens make their content available?
