all these suggestions look great !  
Open questions:  
1- yes, a locked node should be copiable  
2- yes, a locked node should be exportable  
3- yes, either a small lock icon as a badge or a different color/style for the stroke  
4- yes

Unlock-nodes permission: this seem like a good idea as well !
