it doesn't sound like it but it is it.

The talking point is always focused on rewarding those who did the work but that I have to pay to enforce the scheme and the cost of going without if we don't get permission is also not important at all.

I think we should find ways to at least judge some technology valuable enough to buy it into the public domain at sensible but non-negotiable rates.
