The drifted SCO thread has opened a new arena. "IS there a place for a de facto IP freedom realm"

[Oren Beck]

The concept of restrictions is squarely on point as a property right.
At one time our common law allowed for covenants restricting future
resale. Do note that a conditional exception barring covenants was
allegedly justified as fair housing...

MY concept is to empower a creator of IP to place their work in an
eternal public domain.

So, let the games  begin by advocates of both open and closed IP.
