That is correct. But just publishing an idea does not give an assurance that
improvements of the idea are publically published or that patented
improvments (and products) can be used under fair conditions by others. One
of the main goals of the BiOS initiative is to ensure that the improvements
can be used by those who agree to the BiOS agreement, even if the
improvments are patented.
