Great, so the first guy says to make them public domain and the second guy immediately contradicts that by calling any patent freeing dumb. And what's a nonpatent supposed to do to protect you from other companies' patents?

I do wish they would tighten up the language to remove any subjective clauses like 'deter'. And either cut that ten year limit or remove it altogether and rely solely on the counterattack clauses.
