You can't steal these ideas.

It shall be known, henceforth, across all realities throughout infinite timelines, that the material developed in this 50 post series leading up to April 1, 2017 (of which this is #23) are protected with the iron clad, BipCot.ORG license! Potential Kakocrat Intellectual Property thieves tremble before our mighty graphic! Slither back to the foul depths. Get thee away!

@kennyskitchen turned @brindleswan on to this "license" when they met last August at JackalopeFest. He didn't get around to actually checking out the site till today, and we decided to "protect" what we are developing with this novel implementation of an open source license, open to everyone except governments and their agents. If they violate it, they are being warned with this license, that they are liable to shaming. Which they are anyway, just like everyone else.

The real reason our ideas can not be stolen, is that "intellectual property" is not an oxymoron only if it means a trade secret. Once it is out there, you can not force people to forget it. They will improve it, spread it and maybe implement it more successfully than you. Trying to stop that using the aggression of government, when you could have kept it a secret, makes you the one open to shaming and shunning.
