The ideas expressed therein are probably public goods, unless, in the
light of co-design tools*, you have succeeded in patenting them.

In 1981, I invented the "ecological tax" system our German government is
currently hesitantly introducing. I think I deserve 0.01 EUR per liter of
gasoline as a royalty.

Having read Turing, Church and Postel**, you certainly know that social
engineering is equivalent to industrial engineering.  It is the next item
to be digested by the patent system, and the fact that I don't get to levy
that charge of 0.01 EUR right now is a typically European communist
outrage.
