but that kind of stuff is a once in a century sorta breakthrough, and we aren't even half way into the first century of personal computers, it's unlikely anything we do is going to have that size of an impact, and we all are kinda grateful that risk was taken, because it lends an aura of mystique and power that intimidates the enemy and boosts everyone who is working with it in that this system cannot be shut down, and we are just here to break smaller boundaries enforced by the monopolies
ones that are not so well protected, that have had a great deal of lipservice given to them for the purpose of exploiting some part of that (eg open source software means a lot of free testing and debugging but that doesn't change the fact that intellectual property is a racket)
