[Opensim-users] transitioning assets from Second Life to OpenSim

[Paul Fishwick]

We are in the early planning stages of re-creating our island from 
Second Life
in OpenSim and wondered if others out there had suggestions regarding 
transitioning
strategies. My understanding is that for Second Inventory
to work correctly one must either be the creator of the object to move to
OpenSim or one must have all 3 next owner permissions. If that is the 
case, for
objects that we did not create, our plan is to ask each creator if they 
are willing
to sell all 3 rights (modify/copy/give-away) on their objects for some 
reasonable
fee. It is either that or having to recreate each bought object 
ourselves since I am
not aware of a "market bridge" between SL and OpenSim. Thoughts?
