This is interesting. It seems to be the way forward. I think it should be extended to everything including hardware and medicine. Free market. Free to copy, free to improve the work of others. Companies need to get creative; be the first on the market then sell contracts to users, sell subscriptions, loyalty programs... They don't need copyright or patent protection; they just need creativity and they need to build trust with their customers. I don't believe for a second that this will harm innovation in any way. Big pharma dies most of their innovation using taxpayer money anyway... It costs them nothing so why would they stop R&D? If they did, some other company would quickly step in and do the R&D using government money...
