The way I would LIKE to see it, is open source. But, I believe the inventor should be in some way compensated. Invested in, in some way as to further works on the idea and or even new ideas.
If an idea were open sourced, somebody has to make the product. And that takes money. Just because an idea is out, it doesnt mean everyone and anyone are able to build them for themselves. For example, the subject of this thread. Us as builders cant get it to work, if it actually does work, so far.
The only advantage to opensource would be that no one in particular owns the idea and be a soul profiteer. Thats a tough one. Somebody will make some changes and claim it for their own, some way some how. Like in the time of this corona crisis, people buy and hoard products, possibly to scalp for profit by making high profits from those that cannot get the products. If that goes on at lower levels of society, just imagine the ones with big money and power will do. Or someone will come about and say the Gov, etc. already has it and owns it. But then we could ALL say, what is the hold up?? Why not bring it out? Why invest trillions into nuke plants and cause possible dangers that they behold?
Its all a tough call in this 'business' we are in here. What do we do?
The main goal I would think for open source is to get the idea out there so that 'everyone' would know that FE does exist and that the idea of it cannot be buried. And what happens from there could be magical or rain doom on the world.
