Public knowledge lisence - Because information should be in public domain - Let information "owners" taste their own medicine ____________________________________________________ Information covered by this license is public knowledge; it is no one's property or responsibility, and is in everyone's limitless right to know and use. If you disagree, you are forever forbidden to study the relevant parts of it or disconnect any part of it from this lisence. Explanations: - "Limitless right to use" implies that no patents should in your opinion restrict its use. - Actions may be illegal regardless of the right to use information to achieve it. - Information is connected to this lisence if it in any way claims so. Disconnecting is equivalent to recreating, meaning you are the source. - "You" means both personally and as a group. Motivation & Philosophy: Proprietary businesses can protect themselves from the "patent minefield" by keeping their "intellectual property" secret and forbid reverse engineering by a lisence agreement, while patents hurts all types of openness. This is an effort to put the same legal restriction on patent violation hunting for something otherwise in public domain.
