Joel has an interesting, if I think somewhat flawed (but I haven't sorted my thought out yet) piece on IP Rights at Gene Expression. He proposes, in effect, a pre-sale condition for IP, rather than a post-creation monopoly. See the Commentary for some interesting rebuttals.

And thanks to Matt for pointing me to Gene Expression in the first place...
