Maybe I'm cynical, but... Yes, you are cynical, but, perhaps unfortunately, you are probably correct. While the need to create some sort of modded-out system to allow interested parties a way to really examine what's in the db almost surely exists, I, too, wonder of what value it would ultimately be. It's often difficult enough in business to crack the money-making side of it, and adding the large administrative and financial burdens of dealing with onerous patent restrictions sure doesn't help.
