That, at least, is a comfort. If that's the intention, then, why the
competition? Invite co-ownership with other vegan dairy teams, and
co-abandon. Everyone has a finger on the button, so nobody's potentially
on the receiving end, and we can all get back to effective biohacking.

I would be totally willing to have some lawyers write up a contract that binds both teams to explicitly abandon any vegan dairy related patents or permanently and irrevocably license them under the Defensive Patent License. I'm no lawyer so I don't know if such a contract is feasible, but it sounds like a good idea to me! We could even extend it to cover copyrightable materials to be licensed under licenses that adhere to the free culture definition.

Ryan, would you consider something like this? I will bring it up with our team at our next meeting but I'm pretty sure everyone would be excited about it.

One problem we might have to tackle is that the Real Vegan Cheese project currently is not a legal entity, but eh, we've spun up quite a few non-profits in the past year so what's one more.
