It would be *far* simpler to petition the government to set up an administrative agency to take care of "blight" in intellectual "property". Property rights (and abuses) are already well established in the law... and when IP owners feel the risk of having their IP "condemned" and sold to a rival company who will promise to do something "beneficial" with it, then perhaps they won't be in such a hurry to convert their trade secrets to "property".

WELL SAID. Brevity, as you can see, is not one of my strong suites.

But, more seasoned people can take (any) salient points I (**might**) have put
forth.

Again, thanks for the commentary. Hopefully your idea and parts of mine will take
off and make a difference in the software world.

Kind Regards,

David Syes
