I'm a little confused Carl, first you said:

Then you also say:

Since you already said you can design, build, and test what you seem to 
imply are superior devices, why are you asking me to supply you free 
instructions? That makes no sense, unless it is intended as some kind of 
compliant.

Are you are implying I don't contribute to technology, or saying I should go 
on welfare and give work away by your edict?

I think most people realize I had a hand in most popular things that help 
people, even when others copy it.

It seems like no matter how much people freely contribute to others in this 
world, it is never enough for some. They demand even more free stuff.
