there shouldn't be. if SL is to be open, and really open source, then the scripts on it should be GPL as well. But it's different because scripts CAN be protected FOR NOW but blobs of binary and graphics , textures, and blobs of prims cannot.
If i take a sphere prim and put a happy face texture on it, do i suddenly own all sphere prims with happy face textures on them? I think that yea scripts should be open too it'd be in the spirit of real opensource dev. But if you want to lock them up you ccan since they run on the server. but this will change with interop. you wont be able to protect scripts either when you go to someone else's sim, they can take your code then. so I say dont bother. eventually once everything is opened people will get over the idea of 'intellectual property' like a sickness.
