Gee. I guess people who come up with something innovative that might possibly make them *rich* (something of a four letter word to a lot of/. readers) they should be condemned for it. I have a question. If it was useful before you found out about the patent why isn't it still useful? When will idealists like you wake up and realise that people have a righ to make money out of the things they toil on and if that means using legislation to protect their work then so be it.
