It was so cheap because India relied on the R&D done by developed nations

Partly, but the key technologies were not shared as the USA blocked this, so India developed a lot itself.

Free, unencumbered license for "non commercial use"? Makes no difference, they already have it all boot legged.

I think it would be more like giving a health prize to a pharmaceutical company for vaccine manufacturing. Sure, despite the public controversy concerning whether or not they cause autism, it would be true that the company has produced good things that have combated disease, although giving it to a corporate suit is still kind of bullshit. That's how I feel about it. Even if their seeds are helping people (for example, this just popped up in the news), giving the prize to executives doesn't seem right. Perhaps individual scientists or teams, but corporate executives? I don't like it.

Then Oppenheimer should have gotten the Nobel Prize for the cancer removing properties of the nuclear bomb.

As a side not, the Frankenstein thing is pretty silly. No one calls it Frankenstein when someone picks out a somatic mutant of a fruit tree and grafts it to another tree, no one calls it Frankenstein when you chemically double the chromosomes of a plant either to cross it with a non-doubled one to get a triploid or to produce a plant with homozygous alleles from a pollen cell, no one calls it Frankenstein when you cross two plants that can't produce viable offspring and then remove the embryo before it dies to culture it into a hybrid that could never exist in nature, no one calls it Frankenstein when you blast a culture of cells with radiation or apply mutagenic chemicals to create all sorts of random mutations, and no one calls it Frankenstein when you select random mutation after random mutation in the form of artificial selection, a process that has caused such great genetic shifts as to create corn from teosinte and broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, cabbage,and cauliflower (all the same species by the way) from wild mustard. Yet now this is Frankenstein? I mean, I suppose you could go the appeal to nature route and argue that everything else is just manipulating natural forces in a beneficial way, but of course, one could point to horizontal gene transfer and say the same of genetic engineering, not that the argument means much anyway.

You didn't need to wait until after his death. There are plenty of people out there who knew this, ex-employees and partners all have spoken up..

Yeah, but we obviously had to wait till after his death for these stories to appear: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2231063/Steve-Jobs-Strangers-swap-stories-running-Apple-genius-town.html http://forbesindia.com/article/recliner/untold-stories-about-steve-jobs/34039/2
