Its my understanding that patenting reffers to "rights granted to the inventor". That right includes whether to share your knowledge or not. In case of Free Software we can just patent it, and then we can share the code. I think you might be forgetting that Linux is patented to Linus Torvalds. But he chose to share the code If you have doubt, check this link: http://assignments.uspto.gov/assignments/q?db=tm&rno=1916230 -- "Freedom is the only law".
