As a "toolmaker" I know that I cannot control the purpose to which my tools are put, and am realistic enough to know that I cannot dictate morality to those who use the information I impart to them. I have one sure solution to the problem of having your ideas "ripped off". Don't have any. Judging by your most recent example, we will not be missing out on much.
