>PATENTING OPEN SOURCE
>Patent protection for open source software may seem like a contradiction in

>of knowledge in software and nanotechnology, has teamed up with IP.com, a
>Silicon Valley start-up, to work on the PriorArt initiative for programmers
>and scientists.  Under the initiative, software developers and
>nanotechnologists are encouraged to undertake 'defensive publishing' -
>which means releasing their innovations into the public domain so others
>cannot later patent what they have invented. Such public disclosure of
>innovation is known in law as 'prior art'.
