So, if the content is licensed under any "copyleft" license (popular ones are GPL and the share-alike variants of Creative Commons), anyone distributing derivative works would be required to also host that outside of Second Life? While requiring this from the original creator of the Second Life content *might* seem reasonable (as they have either chosen the license in question themselves or have decided to use pre-existing content that requires them to license their work like that), also requiring this from residents who build upon this is unreasonable and IMHO severely against the original spirit of Second Life. > You're not restricted to using Second Life for > content distribution, and with an external site you can present your > full license, not just half a byte's worth of permission data. It's been common and accepted practice to include distribution rules that go beyond what's expressible with SL's permission systems in Notecards in the content or packaged together with it or, for modifiable scripts, in script comments. If it has to be client-enforceable (and thus machine-readable), it's not like SVC-701 <http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-701> and related requests are particularly new.
