In my case I make stuff for fun... and then I sell it. And those  
sales are enough to pay for my tier, which gives me an incentive to  
take the stuff I'm hacking on and polish it up and release it, so  
long as it doesn't turn into a 'job'.

This probably needs to be applied by default to all existing content  
that isn't full perm, just to avoid the absolute uproar that would  
result.

The permission system as designed is reasonable. There's been some  
changes to it that have messed things up, like the change to the  
behavior of inventory in no-mod objects, that should probably be  
reconsidered.
