NSA? Not possible, but it would have been the best outcome possible. If they want to outlaw anything, they can do it already. But if they own the IP and don't outlaw the stuff, it effectively means it becomes public domain.

If you meet a monster that is about to bite your head off, would you rather meet one that hates you (competes with you, that is), or one that doesn't really care whether you exist?
