You can give away any item in your inventory that you have permission to copy and transfer. For example objects, scripts, notecards and landmarks can all be given away.

If you do not have copy and transfer permissions it will say 'no copy' or 'no transfer' after the item's name and will create an error message if you try to give it away. This is normally caused when you have been given an item from someone else and they have not given you full rights to it.
