    I don’t know how to convey to you how important it is to incentivize innovation without worrying someone else will simply steal your ideas to make millions from your hard work you did inventing something while they literally did nothing.

    If I make something and someone else can simply take it and dominate the market with it and pay me nothing for the work i did, why the fuck should I even bother making anything?

        TIL that morons here don’t know the difference between software patents and copyright licenses.

          Oh sorry, I was under the impression that you had at least a basic knowledge about software and software development.

          I now see that that’s not the case.
