I didn't say he was. I gave an example of someone who has a similar world view as Dan (in some regards) who took similar steps to ensure ideas could be shared and expanded on via the patent system. I find that motivation much more probable than Dan abandoning his views on intellectual property that he has held for quite some time, based on his public writings.

That said, this is all speculation anyway.

As for me "getting a fucking grip", please enlighten me. Are you arguing it's more rational Dan has completely abandoned his worldview on intellectual property and open source or that he's attempting a similar strategy as Elon Musk in this very specific case?

Why do prefer personal attacks instead discussing ideas?
