Currently all the Diverse IP statues seem lacking in an instrumentality
where an IP creator can declare their work as property of all while denying
commercial interests from privatising in a restrictive manner such works.

If it's my property, I can restrict it any way I damn please.  This is
exactly why the GPL is a LICENSE, not a conveyance of title.


One proposal is  for granting works their own incarnation.
There is legal precedent for chattels being of limited yet real court
standing.


Simply put that denotes in a better future than we deserve an IP item could
be used but not sold or profited from in a manner that would diminish it's
freedom to others.

You have to explain what you're talking about here.
