Your twisting it again - Deliberately fabricating a dispute perhaps?
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, April 30 2013 @ 08:07 PM EDT

with the expectation of loosing money
Please point out a single incident where anyone but you speaks of the "expectation of loosing money".

If you can not, then - in my humble opinion - you are fabricating a dispute. Whether it's deliberate, only you can say for sure.

Additionally, you're contradicting your own statement with evidence that you yourself present. To paraphrase what you said about IBM:

    IBM is not evidence of a for-profit company giving away their patent with the expectation of loosing money. IBM makes their patents available for zero dollar cost in such areas as the Linux Kernel because IBM sells hardware with Linux as the operating system. This allows IBM to generate profits by lessening other expenses.
This - of course - is the exact opposite of what you are insisting. It is what others - such as myself - are saying:
    That one does not have to have a monetary value intent behind a patent - or such intent behind patentable technology that they do not patent - in order to have incentive to innovate!
