true, I have done this myself. But then you only have to look at the drug companies for examples, as soon as there patents expire every man and his dog is making the same product at a tenth of the cost because they didn't pay for the R&D, who wins, well the consumer does as long as companies get the right to make there money off it first before everyone copies. you don't have that same right in software, the day its released to the world anyone can be copying and including in there product the next day.
