An idea has no absolute meaning until it is expressed. The form of
expression we are refering to is the production of a product (or
service).

If someone has a great idea for a software product and proceeds to
realise that idea, his rights to that are absolutely enforcable.

In any event, the point of this little side-track is that ones ideas are
NOT part of some overall collective consciousness as previously
suggested by someone else.
