What is the alternative? It seems like a lot (a majority?) of professional formats are professionally developed by for-profit consortia, with open-source trailing behind as patents expire. Isn't this what patents are for? If a private entity drops $$$/time/expertise into tech shouldn't they be rewarded for some period? The alternative would be lavishly funded public research, which sounds great to me! But is that going to happen? |
