Reminds me of a Sanskrit sloka roughly translated as:
The wealth that cannot be stolen,neither abducted by state,nor can be divided amongst brothers,Neither it is burdensome to carry,The wealth that increases by giving,That wealth is knowledgeand is supreme of all possessions
Intellectual 'property' is an oxymoron. The treatment of knowledge like a physical asset in that, it must be possessed and contained, is an exercise in futility.
