I agree that it is easy for most humanist to be proud of their correct
attitude because it has never been tempted, but I am not certain that
your proposal is not simplifying the problems, because the tension
between academic and commercial information handling hasn't been
solved by those areas of science where it has been felt longer. So
maybe a simple "we do it like them" rule may be not enough. But I
am interested in another point of your answer: Could you give us an
outline how the university regulations look like? How do they
prevent that most research results which can be used
commercially are going this way?
