Note, that I do not claim ownership on the knowledge itself. I claim
'ownership' on my right to do as I please with what I worked to get.
This is exactly why I have no problem with someone else thinking up the
same thinhg and doing what he wants with it, patent laws etc put aside
for a second - the knowledge doesn't belong to me, the right to do with
it as I please is, including the right to keep it to myself and I earned
that right by working for it or getting it from someone who worked for
it.
Does that make more sense? :-)
