Yeah, but what if we haven't gotten there yet? What if it was a side-project that we now know will turn into a startup but hasn't gotten to the stage of incorporation? I may not say, "Oh, yeah, 20 years ago I signed something putting all my IP in the public domain if I die. We should incorporate now just in case something happens to me." I may not remember, especially if I'm hacking 12 hrs/day on the startup.
