Comment on EA opens up more patents for increasing Accessibility in gaming
Poayjay@lemmy.world 6 months agoWhat? There was no polio vaccine patent. The inventor literally did exactly what I suggested. He made his work freely available so that it could not be patented. Volvo made a business decision to make their patent freely usable and we are still talking about it. Their brand has been permanently associated with safety because of it.

Exactly! They tried to patent it, but it didn’t meet the requirements (ipeg.com/jonas-salk-inventor-of-the-polio-vaccine…).
Notice how they tried to patent it “to prevent companies from making unlicensed, low-quality versions of the vaccine. There is no sign that the foundation intended to profit from a patent on the polio vaccine.”
