Dear Roland
To achieve one of your aims - not allow the others to patent your
innovation - you don't have to patent yourself. It is enough to publish in
good place. Look for Foresight Institute and IP.com initiative.
http://www.foresight.org/priorart/index.html
This will add your invention to the patent prior art database. If you don't
believe in effectiveness you can publish only some modules. Look at the
patent debate at Slashdot.
