There was Pentax developed it. The called it the K-mount and licensed it to anyone who wanted to use it for $1.00. Not $1.00 per lens. Not $1.00 per year. Just $1.00 period. Most companies preferred to design their own mount so you were stuck with buying their cameras one you had a system. Such is the business mindset.
Of course by this time, the F, FD, OM, and MD mount already existed, so there weren't a lot of potential customers left for the K mount in the big players.
