Let's not say "some government" when it's always the US government.

Corruption

This question is so misguided, and will only end in hypocrisy.
If it really bothers the poster that much, simply go without the toy.

Words have meaning, and meaning in particular contexts.
Corporate doublespeak attempts to corrupt that meaning, in this case by intentional reversal; applying a word to it's diametric opposite.

Most people here quite clearly understand that.

With music there are only two choices:
1) Monopolistic pricing
2) Zero price point

The equilibrium price isn't an option, and most people value the product far less than its cost.

Yep, openwashing strikes again.
'Open API' means something akin to 'documented API' for proprietary software.

I'd like to thank the countries which have hamstrung themselves by allowing software patents, for the mass publication of ideas which would otherwise be trade secrets.

Or a wealthy corporation will come along and profit from your legally unprotected design. You can't shame a company into compliance with your kooky culture, so you're boned.

The design and the source code have copyleft licences which derive from the underlying copyright.
The hardware itself, if not patented, is simply in the Public Domain.

Sorry but your "unspoken rules" are not worth the paper they're not written on.

These figures are pretty rough, but a black-body emitter can radiate around 56,000 joules per second per square meter.
Evaporating one kilogram of water removes 2,260,000 joules.

The reason power plants user cooling towers is related to the latent heat of vaporization of water. It's a lot.

Let's say your reactor runs at 1000K (Your one degree cooler water is 999K)

Thermal efficiency = 1 - (999/1000) = 0.1%

Your reactor is 0.1% efficient. That's not so good.
