I do  have one thing to say now.

Placing one's hard work into the public  domain prevents one from
capitalizing on that hard work in the future. I  have spent thousands of
dollars on patent and trademark research only to  conclude that Terry Fritz
and Steve Ward could have been millionaires by  now. Giving away your
inventions so that the "public" can benefit is simply  to ignore the hard
lessons that Tesla's life should have taught us  all.

Tesla died broke and forgotten because he "gave away" his  intellectual
property. Check your bank account before you flame the  previous sentence.

Hi Jeff,
 
As my dad once said, "Many scientists and a few engineers are  motivated by 
trying to wrest secrets from Nature. Many engineers and a  few scientists are 
motivated by trying  to wrest a buck from those  secrets. The second group 
usually cannot understand why the first group even  exists." After 47 years in 
engineering, dad died in 1978, intellectually  satisfied and almost broke. Alien 
as the concept may seem, some  folks actually do have aspirations other than 
wealth. (Terry Fritz, Steve Ward,  et .al.)
