It depends what the red warning dialog is supposed to symbolize. If the
color red was used in the UI to notify the user that a monetary
transaction is involved that would make sense. However if the red dialog
meant "Authorizing this script to take money from you gives it the
ability to transfer an unlimited amount of your L$ balance to other
avatars, and this permission can only be revoked by deleting the object
or taking it back in to your inventory. The only way to audit this
behavior is by reviewing the source code of the script requesting
permissions." then that's not the same thing.
