I've heard this story for at least 23 years, and I'm less and less open-minded about its veracity. Patents expire after 17 years. A savvy business person can profit from it's exclusivity for up to 20 years. Why hasn't something like this surfaced by now, and with the internet why aren't there bootleg plans available for the DIYer? Heck, everything else is bootlegged on the internet!!! I don't buy it.
