With all he did, he refused to patent his polio vaccine. Which, to me, is beautiful.
I was looking for a video of it, but all I could find was one from the Michael Moore film. I'm still going to put it up, but wish I had a different one.
So many of the great inventions we live with today were considered the people's property, rather than belonging to one person/corporation who then gets rich. I could say much more, but I've tucked my soap box away for the day so I'll let this stand alone.
I love that he says "Can you patent the sun?" Beautiful man.
