VeriSign DNSSEC domain transfer patent

[Alex Gakuru]

What if VeriSign had invested the Internet? Perhaps Vint and Bob should
reconsider patenting the Internet and charge all these corporations then
donate the proceeds to the Internet poor? :-j

"Then the question was would it be something that could be rolled out
tothe rest of the world? We didn't know for sure but when we worked on
it, we
decided not to patent, not to copyright, not to control, but to share
everything we knew about the Internet design to the general public all
around the world." <
