Can a concept really be restricted? I thought ideas were not patentable.

    In the current US patent climate disaster it is not really a big leap to see something that is clearly not protected by copyright and then think "maybe they got a patent for it and throw licenses around because of that."

  That does sound dubious. The specific graphics created by Strategyzer can be copyrighted with a Creative Commons license of course, but I can't see how the concept of the business model canvas can be protected. The name may be trademarked of course.
