How do we handle the case below...
*Crypto people share ideas for the benefits of real decentralization, and other people (mostly those who don't believe in true decentralization) copy the ideas, maybe make some modifications and patent them. Do you think this is ok?
I strongly believe ideas shared in Crypto communities or for crypto communities should only be used for true decentralization and not patented.
I am sure true crypto people wouldn't care who use their ideas, as long as the ideas are not used outside of making truely decentralized things and are not patented. .
I guess every community in Crypto space should state this clearly to prevent people from patenting our ideas and getting wealthy from them?

Patents on software (code or math)... Are only a thing in about 6 countries. Do you live in one of them?
You can safely say that this practice is worldwide shunned upon. Its too bad the USA and South Korea are among them, but for example the EU and UK are against...
Therefore if you live in one of these countries, you should campaign to your politicians to put a stop to that practice. Of course we all known in systems like the American, you need money to do that (the lobby system), unfortunately those that happen to favor the patents seem to be the one able to lobby while the common folk (aka. ignorant masses) do not.
