Re: [chairs] Of un-patents and un-inventions

Elysa,

I'm open to better suggestions!

BTW - seems like the patent approach to this is
http://www.researchdisclosure.com/
but again this IMHO falls into the same bear trap we are trying to avoid -
eg -
this just sucks you down into the morass that is the USPTO - we're trying to
ensure
we stay away from all that.

I've had a suggest of other terms like "open invention", or "freely reusable
idea".

I also think we need "obvious and self-evident" in there too....

Thanks, DW
