Well, you make a good point on the patent suits. I would think though that by offering an idea, unsolicited, I am in effect giving that idea away. If I give the idea away - the open source way - aren't I in effect giving away my ability to make a patent claim on it? Certainly seems I should be doing just that. Maybe their disclaimers should set forth that stipulation...give us the idea and you give up ownership of it.
