I'm curious. Are there any inventors out there?
I think they are not "out there" but "inside of you" in the quadrant "where dreams are made real" on below video. But modern-day employer-employee relationship structure strips off individual's inventions and hand them over to proprietary regimes. The very factor contemporary FOSS/Open innovation movement seeks to reverse.. ---- A tragedy of the commons: “One of the most common misunderstandings regarding intellectual property rights, particularly copyright, is that the actual creators are the main beneficiaries of the grant. In reality, it is the large companies that employ creators and then strip them of their copyright through contracts who actually benefit from the grant society intended as a reward for authors. This important misunderstanding is no accident. Misleading "romantic notions of authorship" are systematically spun by the companies who stand in the shoes of creators to justify the generous monopoly right rewarded to them”, says Robin D.
