Clarke, that's a non-starter. Gass has patents. The purpose of patents is
to provide exclusivity for a set period of time to allow the patent holder
to profit from his invention(s). The lawyers will fight about the prices
the competition should pay. The task of government is (apparently) to
protect us from ourselves, for single proprietors and hobbyists, that is.
OSHA does it for general commerce.
