Aren't you basically saying that whoever came out with the original software idea should be given an amount of time where they can profit from it without worrying about competitors? Like, say, a software patent?
- onan_barbarian 15y agoNo. I'm not seeking to change to world or propose any new systems, and I find software patents objectionable. I just don't like the uncritical celebration of F/OSS as always helpful to innovation when there are clearly cases where it is a mixed blessing.
