I thought the same thing, reading the article.
A much more effective way, IMO, would be to establish a trust or foundation with the desired openness characteristics (eg FRAND) defined in its charter, and then have participants assign IP rights to the organization in some contract.
Or, as I said in my other reponse, just end the patent system.
- digitallyfree 4y agoThe other other option aside from having specific contracts (as stupid as it sounds) is to patent the seed itself and then license out the patented seed using open terms.
