What would you do if you coded a groundbreaking algorithm? Put

Sell it because I don't work for free.

put it on github for all to use
but license it under the gpl
and then make bank suing the companies that use it despite the gpl

>>59968834
Depends on the algorithm

GPL is very much like software patents. Can't use GPL-licensed software unless you completely comply to the strict guidelines of the license.

>>59968869
comparing the gpl to a patent is a big stretch and youre missing the bigger picture

>what is this sleepsort you speak of?

Anyone who says they'll put it on GitHub for free use are lying or too incompetent to ever make anything groundbreaking.

How likely is it that a web developer easily makes a phenomenal compression algorithm?

You should read the part of the contract you signed where it says that's impossible

Seems like you've made a mistake in your contract then because it's clearly possible. You should correct it.

Please end yourself.

I sell it to the highest bidder and spend the money to buy a villa and an expensive car so i can bring girls back to my villa and fuck them raw and if they get pregnant i will just dump them and pay child support.

>these retards

I fucking sell it as a service behind a server.
Blackbox, son.

Then they'll just go in the data centre and steal your shit if they really want it but it would work a bit

I would pur a proprietary license on it and sell it to the highest bidder, just to trigger stallman

>>59968834
has there ever been a computer scientist who single-handedly coded a "groundbreaking" algorithm in their free time?
it's my impression that most if not all groundbreaking work is done in academia or research groups.

>>59970334
Yes, plenty

>>59968879
Spoken like a man who has never contributed any value to the world. Why doesn't everyone work for free!!

>>59970355
can you give me some examples?

I would license it out

How about Carmack and Linus?

>>59970416
What about them?

>>59970416
what groundbreaking (!) algorithms did they invent?

>>59968834
I would release it as a virus and sell the ground fixing algorithm for shitload of money.

>>59970166
With the money I create from my dubs generator 9000, I'll be able to hire a small army to protect it.

>>59970334
No, because programming is not about inventing algorithms but about implementing them. Academics invent algorithms and theories, programming just implements the idea after it's been refined. Moving the goalposts.

put it on github under GPLv3, but maintain a separate version that I'd sell to proprietary software devs with different license terms that fit their business model.

>>59968987
and even if you uploaded the code, nobody could use it legaly. See the microsoft NT source leak. ReactOS was even better off even the code wasn't leaked

I Don't think you're going to make any ground breaking algorithms that apply specifically to computers. There are plenty of really hard problems relating to the physical world, though, like self-driving cars, robotics, AI, etc.

Commit suicide taking my algorithm to the grave with me

>>59968834
probably put it on github and start a company

Plus AFAIK, you cannot register algorithms outside the US. Such a fucked up IP universe over there
