[sldev] Permissions

[SL - Farallon Greyskin]

This is a common problem and is IMHO one of the VERY FEW things that really 
need serious consideration in this permission discussion. I too will not 
release anything full perms because of this and do exactly as you described.

An additional permission of "Public Domain" or whatever you want to call it 
(Please DON'T call it "GPL") would be something that would be very useful. I 
also would like to see an "Always for sale" flag as well. If I made a nice 
plant and sold it for 30L and someone else sees it on their land, it would 
be nice to have the option to just allow them to buy it right there rather 
than having to look up the creator and then search for their store...

Whatever evolves out of this discussion on Permissions, I hope the 
non-profit/edu sector is taken into consideration, too.  I have a gallery 
iSL, and show images that are borrowed, with permission, from RL non-profits 
(university, museum, etc.), with the intent that they be distributed for 
free for edu purpose, with as much protection as I can manage, to make sure 
the images are not sold by the transferee.  And that I document my efforts. 
My solution has been to turn the images into textures, and "frame" them onto 
objects, assign Copy-No Transfer, so that no one else can sell them, and 
charge L$0 or L$1, plus keep visitor counter records, so that I can document 
distribution.   It's "best efforts", not a perfect solution.  And I need the 
No Transfer perm for this purpose.
