I know the option to 'allow anyone to copy' is a bit broken...
I know that many people 'sell' stuff for 0L$ to get round it...

Have there been any announcement about proper fixes that I may have missed?
Certainly, there is nothing in the current known issues.

This is something confusing to me at well. This is why selling for L$0 has been needed: in some versions of SL, ALLOW ANYONE TO COPY needed to be *fully* permissive. In others, you can make an item no-mod or whatever, and it'll work. I haven't tracked it precisely but I noticed this behavior on and off... dunno why. :\

But it's a pain to test without an alt or stranger, because, of course, you as the owner can always make copies!

I always thought, if someone else *can't* copy it, then the checkbox should be dimmed.

ANYWAY--in 1.9 and 1.9.1, as long as an object is transferrable, others should be able to take free copies of it.

Let me know if you find otherwise, y0.

It's otherwise. The day SL 1.9.1.13 came out, I created a light script and made the prim and script full permissions and checked "allow anyone to copy" but no one could take a copy until "allow anyone to move" was checked also. This has been a bug for as long as I've been in SL!

I've always just used scripts for this sort of thing. But now with 1.9.1 you can have the default 'touch' command as pay, so setting it to zero can allow you to have people take a copy just by clicking on the item and clicking "Buy" for L$0.
But if it is broken, has anyone bug-reported it? I've never noticed personally, but then all of my 'allow anyone to copy' items are in my not-yet opened shop.
