Stolen!

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not open, which is why it pains us when people take some of our technology or ideas and pretend that they were their ideas.  Case in point, this contraption, which allows rat brains to talk to each other.  Anyone can see that this is nothing more than a reapplication of the core technology we used to talk to Crktdwk the cuttlefish.  It wouldn't bother us so much if they had mentioned that it built on our seminal technology, but the fact that they didn't even mention our scientists at all.  But then again, our philosophy of being open means that we must give up our notion of ownership, meaning that we have quickly overcome our frustration and now mean to embrace the era where rats can communicate with each other via direct brain link over long distances.  Who can think of any one aspect of society that won't improve with this great advance, and to think that we were an (uncredited) part of it all!
