Ok, so private companies should be happy to compete freely without having to pay licensing fees. Win win.

Why compete if someone will just steal your product?

It would just be a waste of time and money.

Imagine you spend two years and $100,000 to make a invent a clever handheld MRI for the super conductor just to have 100 companies Steal Your Design. You would have been better off watching Netflix

Inventions are still subject to patents. If you make a handheld MRI then others shouldn't be able to steal it from you unless they design their own. The material itself is what shouldn't have a patent on it.

Reading comprehension mate, cmon, don't assume bad intent.
