Buy Copy clears debit permissions on original

I've long known that (oddly enough) when an object is set to allow users to buy a copy, when they do, the original gets a "changed" event with the CHANGED_OWNER bit set. To detect an actual change in ownership, we have to save the owner key and test it to see if it's changed.

I tried to take advantage of this, for an object where I want to pay someone a commission on each sale. Everything in my shop is "buy" rather than "pay", and I want to keep it that way. (For one thing, you're guaranteed that you get a precise copy of the sales floor model.) The copay script would delete itself for new owners.

Unfortunately, the object loses debit permissions on the "owner change". I consider this a bug. On "owner change", debit permission should be rescinded if and only if llGetOwner() does not match llGetPermissionsKey().

Has anyone else seen this or have any comments? I'm considering opening a Jira. I searched but didn't find one.

I have a simple workaround: have the copay script send a message to another object which pays the commission.

This seems to avoid the problem, Lear:

key owner;

default {
    state_entry() {
      if(owner!=llGetOwner()){
          owner=llGetOwner();
          llRequestPermissions(owner,PERMISSION_DEBIT);
      }
      
     
       
    }
    
    changed(integer change){
        if(change&CHANGED_OWNER){
            if(llGetPermissionsKey()!=owner){
            llSay(0,"resetting script");
            llResetScript();
            }
        }
    }
    
  
}

At least, I've tested something containing this with my alt and the original kept its debit permissions without resetting when she bought a copy of the contents.
