Hi,

Most, if not all, intangible assests stereotypes have their good and bad 
sides. Thing about trademark trolls or Lego filling trademarks, and 
getting them in some European countries, for their block designs after 
the patents expired.

I think the important thing is to have licenses that only keep the good 
side of these as you did with the GPL. Hope soon will be good licenses 
for trademarks and patents as well.

Best,

Julian
