It's relatively easy to structure a grant program such that the rights are either shared, or can be licensed for a pretty nominal amount. There are other sectors of academic research that are quite good at this.
- AndrewKemendo 8y agoNobody is saying you can't do it, however it's just rarely done. The default way is to not share/license, so that's what normally happens.
- Fomite 8y agoAt my university, the default is actually a licensing agreement.
- AndrewKemendo 8y agoAgain, the point is that corporations do not have licensing agreements by default, whereas Universities do because their charter is to license usually through a technology transfer office.
