Good deeds are not exempt from punishment.

Oppenheimer helped the U.S. develop "atomic" bombs. One of his colleagues decided to make a yet more destructive "hydrogen" bomb. After "winning" World War 2, the U.S. Government decided to militarily force the natives of Bikini Atoll to leave they home so the U.S. Goverment could blow the island up for sport.

Then former colleague and U.S. Government promptly through Oppenheimer under a caravan of buses because he was no longer useful to their cause and had developed some qualms about the use of such weapons of war.

If you want a pat on the back, you may or may not get one or millions.

There are no big me's and little you's. We're all just humans. Some very acclaimed people have been found to be liars, theives, greedy bastards.

I wouldn't get all dewey eyed about "academia" or "science".

If you are working with no strings attached, assign your work to PUBLIC DOMAIN.

A guy I discussed a topic with once, concerning whether or not there was actually an Aristotle, and not just plagiarized works of Africans said something like it doesn't matter who said what, the work stands on it's own, without attribution.

That is, who's the guy who allegedly wrote the Bitcoin script?

Did Eli Whitney really invent the cotton gin? Or was it that woman? Or the Africans held prisoners of war in penal colonies called called plantations who devised better ways to process the cotton?

Can go either way. Get it?
