Like Unix/Linux GNU/GPL would probably be the best way to go if you need to patent.

Problem is when you have a f.e machine and you do not patent it. Sombody will come around and claim the idea as theirs and do patent it and stop all progress on the thing. You can't do a thing because they have the patent, and are sitting on it.

What you can do is:
Invent a f.e device. Patent it. BUT be fully transparant in the patent. Discribe everything. So people can fully and without hidden stuff replicate it completely. In that way a patent can become a worldwide available and free instuction manual for all.
This is true but expensive. It should be enough simply to disclose your work. It will then become "prior art", and will cause the next person's patent to fail.

The question is: How do you disclose technology with enough
publicity? What counts as "enough"?

yes i know GPL is for software.

this is the closest i can find in order to be "free and open source" for patenting. unless there is something else out there that i don't know of and is qualified as "free and open source" license.

the question is, is there a license out there that is qualified as "free and open source" for patenting a machine?
