I already do check c+m+t on my objects, but that does not prevent in
any way the next owner from unchecking them. That is what I mean by
"opting out" of the permission system. Just as a copyright-business
does not want people to be able to check the missing permissions, I do
not want them to be able to uncheck them, because it reduces the value
of what I sell and constitutes a violation of either my copyright (in
the copyright model) or a violation the further buyers' property
rights and fraud (in my model).

I do not know what the "8 generatives" refer to. All I know is that
I'm making money, that the permission system in SL makes my business
model wide open to a little but annoying amount of ripping off that
harms its value, and that I'd rather not have that situation extended
to all other VWs.

Transporting the metadata of c/m/t -- or no c/m/t and demanding a regime to implement it does not preclude you from "opting out" by...checking off c/m/t. Why would you think that the act of having to check off c/m/t to get full perms, so that others who *do not* want to check them off and wish to make a living not through consulting but by object sales would somehow preclude your full-perms distribution? Makes no sense, again, except as an ideological demand.
