My proposal is that the world's knowledge should work for all of humanity. In general, we have patents and copyrights and trade secrets as commercial objects because we as a society think that it helps bring the benefits of new creations to everyone.

She told me, "I probably don't have to mention this to you, but you are of course free to put this under a public domain, BY or BY-sa license."
