This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The biggest annoyance is that patents doesn't prevent usage... Just require permission... they could ask anything or nothing, it just would need to be acceptable. And well here we are.
Why rely on someone else's go-ahead if you can just do something different? They didn't patent it for no reason - they want a cut if someone using it makes a bunch of money, and likely won't give you the go-ahead without that guarantee.
Ofc, but that is the issue. Make the cut reasonable about some devs will be willing to pay the price.
It'd have to be pretty reasonable. From the perspective of the people who have to pay, it's just as easy to tell the plebs beneath them to come up with something even better that doesn't require a fee. If they fail, it's because they were lazy, not because you're a bad leader, obviously.
