I'm really thinking for some time about a mechanism to distribute ideas for free.
I don't want to fight against the patents and the associated system. I just don't care too much about it. I've read some things about it. I have a book right here with detailed information about it.
It looks like something created for somebody who enjoy loosing his focus and most probably his hopes.
I don't have time and resources to enroll my ideas it this system. It does not make sense for me.
If you ask about protecting my ideas .... here is my opinion.
It is not fair to stop somebody from developing an idea just because you need more time to develop it yourself. If it is your idea you will surely know better how to succeed with it.
So, please enjoy reading this, involve in this discussion, post your own ideas and use my ideas free. We live in a free world wherever we are. Be free in whatever you do.
Let's share ideas and make them shine.

AAUI the original objective of GPL is to use copyright to secure the right within the IPR (intellectual property rights) domain to then have the power/option/choice:
ReplyDeleteTo make that IPR available to others on a variety of terms including unrestricted reuse, which could be considered the same as placing that work in the Public Domain.
Patents are anti-educational by nature and useful to protect implementations of ideas that require significant capital investment to realise (eg. the steam engine, pharmaceutics)
ie. without patent/copyright/IPR protection, so the argument goes, then the capital investment would not happen.
For ideas that can be digitally realised, where the cost to copy is negligible, then IPR is serving to reward the first to market - this can be for the common good so long as the IPR claim is not so loosely drawn as to impede further genuine innovation.
