Restrict copying file to their drafts without restricting developers from exporting

Recently I unpleasantly discovered that anyone with view access to my file could duplicate it to their drafts. When trying to prevent this privacy and intellectual property leak, I discovered a way to block this by adjusting my sharing settings and unchecking the option:

However, soon after my developers realised that they could now not export icons.

 

 

It seems like a way to control the posibility to fully copy a design file should be independent from the capability from exporting content to non-editable formats. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to do so. I currently have to choose what to jeaopardize, our design's intellectual property or developers work.

Please let me know how to keep my designs files safe from duplication without impacting production.

 

Thank you.
