  • This is a cool take! I don’t think I agree though. I assume we developed pattern recognition before music/language. Many animals have the ability to note attributes about plants and animals even without the ability to communicate complex ideas (ie language or oral tradition). I assume that type of pattern recognition was a good blueprint for functions like music and language, but my guess is it started from a general pattern recognition, then was retuned for music and language.

    Again, pure speculation, but there is some logic behind it!







  • That doesn’t really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

    Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

    I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.
