This is not necessarily a bad thing. Contests like this could be a good model for drug discovery, for instance, instead of a rigid, inhuman patent protection system. Further, I don't think the market metaphor is especially accurate or useful here. Not all competition is analogous to markets. Market competition is one very specific type of competition based on price and price only. -raghu. -- "As a matter of fact, no, I don't have a life." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
