I suggest adding optional semantic license flags in addition to mod, copy, transfer so that creators can indicate their license terms alongside permissions. For example, textures are distributed full perms, but that doesnt mean you can do what you like with a texture if there are additional license terms. Often licensing information is in a notecard which can get lost or deleted. Possible licensing flags might include: NONCOMMERCIAL: Free to use, but not for commercial purposes EDUCATIONAL_USE: Free for teaching or sandbox use EXPORT_OK: May be used outside Second Life ATTRIBUTION_REQUIRED: Must credit the creator SEE_PROFILE: License terms available in creator’s profile A creator could set some or all of these license flags for their items. Ideally these flags wouldnt need a change to the existing data structures (assuming mod,copy,transfer are stored as a single integer). They wouldnt affect existing items, they wouldnt change mod, copy, trans permissions, and they wouldnt be enforced via software. They would be for information only, added to the item by the creator so anyone can check for terms if they look at an object's profile.
