Jon the way I see it is that ideas are free. They float around in the ether and are there to be caught and used like fish in the ocean. So far the governments haven’t learned how to control the harvest so they try to control the sharing. I gladly pay the stipend for your sharing. You have an interesting viewpoint that I often find myself at and that is comforting. On another note, the whole earth catalog jolted me into the past and I wanted to recommend “alcohol can be a gas” also I wanted to share a quote from a friend of mine “discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought”
