I'm helping a friend polish the user interface on an application he's writing.
We agree it's quite slick, and has a few nice ideas that make it unique,
including one that seems obvious in retrospect, but we haven't seen before.
It's all very tightly held while publication negotiations and such sordid
commercial details are worked out.  But we agree that publication is the
end of the private holding of the ideas.  The jump on competition is enough;
there's no need to try to lock them out altogether.

(Heck, there's something similar where I developed a novel algorithm, and
I'm getting paid for it.  The deal is, a few months after release of the
product, I'm going to publish a description and source code.  The few months
is a guess how long serious competition will take to reverse-engineer it
anyway.  After that, we might as well make the world a better place for the
public at large.  Sorry I can't give details, but I'm being paid, again, for
the jump on the competition.)

In these cases, it's partly a matter of small companies not being able to
fund a legal campaign even if they wanted to, but I'm glad for the component
of ethics I think is there, too.
