If I discovered a cure for cancer, some birdbrained fucktard like josephine would want me to give it away for free.
Sometimes that's the ethical thing to do though. The three Canadian medical scientists that discovered insulin never wanted to profit from it. They certainly could have, since they owned the patents, but sold those patents for $1.00 to the University of Toronto, who permitted anyone to produce it. Had they been Jews, I have no doubt they would've capitalized on it...
Sir Frederick Banting (the dude who discovered it) said, "Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world."
Their legacy will live on.
