Permissions based on the Owner of the Parent Node

I've patched the permission system to allow create,edit,remove if the user is the owner of the parent node.

This feature has often been asked for (especially for community sites) as it allows users to have their own sub trees without any specific sub tree limitation rules.

I'm trying an experiment here: I wasn't beeing paid to do it (I'm a student and essentially did it in my currently somewhat rare spare time) and seeing that a lot of people want this, I'll be asking for donations before releasing it (under the BSDL so eZ can integrate it without any trouble). If this works ok, I might do other things like this in the future.

But first, I'd like to hear any comments on this.

Looks great to me, we have to review the patch however, before we know if it can go in or not.

As far as I can see on the screenshot, this is a great feature ! eZ and you have to find a way to have the patch included in the core (if it fits eZ Systems requirements of course) :)

Hi Gabriel,

Nice feature indeed. Could you give more info about the amount you request before releasing the code and so on ?

Its a much-needed improvement and ransomware is respected way of making income, provided you release it gpl after ransom is paid up and have provided easy way to participate and specified the ransom and amounts you require to get the code right away. I suggest you do so, otherwise the experiment will not work.

Contribute as much as you want, I'll release it anyway but some cash towards replacing my fried CPU/Motherboard (the noise of my current backup machine drives me crazy rather quickly) and as a sign of appreciation are welcome, of course.
