I actually like the idea of open source, the problem is i wouldnt like the big companies to benefit from my research, and if we go open source in the end that's what happens =/
This has got me somewhat worried... How is that? So it isnt any good submitting our project to a patent once we get a prototype? If people will just steal it maybe it's better to just develop it and then market it withou a patent?
Ha! Amen to that!
That's one of the reasons we're working in secret anyway, if things go as planned we might have a working prototype within a year, and then people will have to just shut up!
