Object ID / License System

[Frooxius]

I'd like to add a special component for that to hold the licensing information and place it on the objects. Could be placed manually (via tool ideally) as well for things you make within Neos.

That'd also allow license-aware tools and objects. Like generating credits automatically from everything in the world. Or checking for license conflicts or simply pointing at object and showing UI that tells you who made it and what can you do with it.

It would be also automatically placed on the objects when they are imported from external libraries and API's.

sketchfab integration would be AMAZING! You could also have a 3d model marketplace in neos like second life

If the default permissions were up to me, I'd have the default be to allow everything, when the creator doesn't intentionally specify otherwise. (Though this default could of course be changed in the settings.) The purpose of this would be to ensure limits are only applied when that's actually the intention of the creator, and nothing would be restricted by DRM for the sole reason that the creator didn't care enough to change it from the default. (And if the creator doesn't care, then that means they're fine with it being fully open.) This would maximize the variety of freely-reusable content that's available, to the highest extent possible while still respecting creators' wishes.
