[sldev] Script/Parcel/Memory Limits - Selling objects that are containing scripts in future?

[Tigro Spottystripes]

I don't see any reason memory usage would need to be private, prim count
isn't.

Not all vendor and webmalls list things like prim count in an specific
field, do they? Sellers that want to brag about their products' memory
usage (or just be honest) can simply write it in the product description
in cases where there isn't an specific field for it.

Though inworld venders that rez the product for browsing might not have
the rezzed product fully working, specially in cases where it's just for
display and not trying it out (some stores might be trying to save sim
resources to all the vendors they have in place and have the products
deactivated ont he vendors that do display the product live)
