Since I was a kid I've wanted to be an inventor but I don't think of marketable things and hate the idea of locking my ideas up behind legal restrictions (I prefer to license my personal software and 3D print designs under the MIT "just make sure my name stays attached" license).
So yeah, I'd just design stuff and put it into the world...
Nice! I imagine this would do a lot to break down some of the ways intellectual property slows down progress. If we could freely borrow and build on other peoples designs with credit given, we'd be driving repairable, eco-friendly, car-planes by now.
