[Opensim-dev] The essence of "grid"

[Mike Dickson]

That's been my thought all along. What if the content in the users
"inventory" is my IP.  I've granted a license for a customer/user to use
it (perhaps even limited to where the content is used). 

I appreciate the energy around the hypergrid concept. But there are lots
of scenarios where the hypergrid is entirely irrelevant. I still believe
implementation of it belongs in the forge and not in the core. But I
completely agree with Michael that the energy around Hypergrid
shoduldn't de-empahsive the platform aspects of OpenSim in such a way
that a non-Hypergrid case becomes unimplementable (or even harder).
