This is disappointing. I'll say that I wish the situation would change so that you would be able to get funding without the dog eat dog, allowing you to share source code and ideas. Think how much would the next version of you be able to do if he had access to the ideas you invented! Not to admonish you; obviously it's the situation that's causing this. It's utterly bizarre that there would be any field of science that actively deterred collaboration because without collaboration it seems incredibly difficult to achieve great things.
