* I used to be out to save the world in my youth.
I have given away technology as a result of my research.
Once the technologies made it to market my name was
never mentioned and I was not thrown even a few dog scaps.
* I will get this technology out but I will do it with me
in full control this time. If I make money through manufacturing
a product then this money will further other research projects.

* I am doing just this.
* I am also giving out the technology for free to people
who are willing to sign a strict non-disclosure with me.
Those who can muster the ride will have the chance to be
a part of the company team when products are sold.

* I had once subscribed to this. However, money must be secured first to
keep the rats out of the grain. The rats will take all of the grain,
when the poor farmer worked by the sweat of his brow to grow it. Worse
yet,
theses rats will leave nothing for the farmer or his family to eat.
