I'm also software engineer (more a data scientist lately)

Computer science would be nowhere near where it is if everybody build their own software and just passed to their kids 

This thread made me have the great perception of how good is to not live in a libertarian world. Most of our cultural and scientific production wouldn't exist if ownership was restricted to individuals instead of public domain 

I have an advance degree in chemistry....  I do not agree with your view scientific production wouldn't exist if ownership is restricted.  For starters most products have restricted ownership by corporations and that creates competition which feeds innovation.  One of the reasons I have over 60 patents is to beat out my competitors and own spaces.  If everything I did was public domain I wouldn't work half as hard as I do, because it removes incentive.  Not too mention scientistific transfer of ownership is one of the reasons many items are overpriced in the market place.

Software industry is only viable because of free licenses. Imagine if we need to pay for every lib and framework we use. We would be trapped in the 90's levels of technology because every piece of software would demand people to rework in things over and over

Wondering how much more developed chemistry industry could be if they share the same mindset, maybe then people would stop paying premium prices for medicines
