<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Another thought I had is the creator of
the item can add a note card to the contents of a prim that has a specific name
like “_License”. Then only allow the creator of this note card to
remove it. The creator of the prim and the creator of the note card would be
the same creator name. Any attempts by anyone else to remove it would be
ignored. If this prim is given to someone else, even if the object is full
perms, the new owner will not be able to remove this note card. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

anything that is modify or full perms can be copied and a new item made with a

it "License". Save the notecard. Now take the UUID for the notecard
and paste it into the description field of the asset you want it to apply to.
Opensim, noting that the notecard is named "License" and is created
by the same person who created the asset, subsequently attaches that UUID to
the asset in a separate database field, and clears the description field of the
asset, allowing the description to be used for other purposes. When the asset
is transferred, the asset and the notecard are both given to the recipient in a
unique folder. Since the UUID is associated with the asset internally to
OpenSim and not directly accessible from the viewer, subsequent transfers of
the asset would always include the notecard.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Any suggestions on that matter I am welcome to hear - the better if it doesn't
