Add a rule, “Sale of Rights:”
Each Product and each Daemon in the Ruleset shall have its Production Rights or Naming Rights, respectively, tracked on the Inventory page.
If a Corporation owns Production Rights to a Product or Naming Rights to a Daemon, they may share such rights with any other Corporation at any time. To do so, the sharing Corporation must make a blog post stating with whom they are sharing the rights, and edit the relevant Production Rights or Naming Rights line of the Inventory page accordingly.
A Corporation may give up the Production Rights to a Product or the Naming Rights to a Daemon if it wishes—again, by posting as much, and editing the relevant Rights line.
Along the same lines, a Corporation may put Production Rights it owns into the Public Domain, or make Naming Rights it owns Public Knowledge.
Remove the Naming Rights line from each existing Daemon in the Ruleset and transfer that information to the Inventory page. Add lines for each existing Product to the Inventory page, indicating their Public Domain status.
