Finding an object's creator is easy. The object's name will usually start with /usr/XXX. That XXX is the object's creator as far as the Kernel MUDLib is concerned.
The Kernel MUDLib occasionally does things with objects according to who owns them. The owner is, conceptually, the user who called clone_object() or the equivalent. But it's a little trickier than that.
Say you've just entered a command which causes an object to be cloned. You're the current user, but you're using code in (for instance) /usr/System to run the command. So who owns the new object, you or System?
Say it's not a clone? Does that make a difference? Yup. If an object isn't a clone then the creator is also the owner. For instance, that's true if it's the original compiled clonable object, or if it's a library.
