<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
this is my first posting to this list and I would like to introduce myself with
a few words.<br>
<br>
I am a content creator for Second Life Technology and I have been testing
OpenSimulator for a while now. I joined 'Second Life' 2006 and became a virtual
watches designer by taking free classes in SL. I met my GF in SL and she moved
from Houston/Texas to Germany, where we now live together.<br>
We both are also SL Solution Provider.<br>
<br>
Friends and I started a Product development Community in SL and one of our
first developments was a multiple Choice Quiz System for SL Technology.<br>
I am convinced of OpenSimulator because of the possibility of .oar and .iar
files which are such an amazing advantage, compared to what, lets say
"closed proprietary grids" offer.<br>
<br>
To come to an end and the question I would like to have answered:<br>
<br>
<b>Is there a reliable way to protect the source of a script in a .oar file ?</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Marcus<br>
Frankfurt, Germany<br>
<br>
p.s. I am currently looking for an additional team member, a perl developer,
who would be responsible to further develop the community shop features:<br>

The "Marble Isle Quiz System" was nominated for the European
Innovative Games Award 2009 in the category 'Advancement Prize' Innovative
Application Methods & Environments, which is an encouraging recognition for
a SL/OpenSimulator application.<br>
<br>
Our Team so far:<br>

What we have so far:<br>
We alreday have an in-world vendorsystem with a currency/credit feature:<br>
