[Opensim-users] Retaining correct creator/owner when moving OARs between stand-alone simulators.

[Justin Clark-Casey]

This isn't currently possible - creator fields are quite like labels and are conceptually separate from simulator logic. 
  The owner fields are much more involved in things such as permissions checks.

You could also argue that conceptually if you load an OAR into a region you 'own' the instantiations of those objects. 
Ownership of the copyright, on the other hand, may still belong to the listed creator depending upon what license is 
attached to the objects.
