Mike, > The chance of someone stealing your idea is v. remote.
There are many companies that made fortune with stolen ideas (e.g. Microsoft). But of course they are primarily after proven ideas. YKY, If practically doable, I would recommend closed source, utilizing (& possibly developing) as many open source components as possible. Also consider safety issues - functional AGI in wrong hands. The level of my safety concern would be (in part) influenced by how the AGI learns - e.g. whether the user's ability to teach the system is the tricky part which will ultimately make the system dumb/smart OR if the prototype learns more-less on its own.
