 Patent?!?!  We won't honor no fucking patents!  I'm the reincarnated Karl Marx!
 My new VAX will be completely open source hardware: I'll open-source the Verilog
 code.  There will be no problem with fabbing it right there on Mars.
  BTW Travel to MARS is keeping me from claming my
3.125 square miles
 of land. 
 I'm sorry to inform you, but your title to that land is invalid.  The same goes
 for everyone selling and buying land on Moon and Mars.  That land belongs to the
 Galactic Federation.  The Federation will give that land for free to any
 refugees from Earth fleeing from capitalism and seeking to live a completely
 egalitarian society without money or property, but if you start claiming
 property, we won't respect your claims any more than we respected the feudal
 landlords of czarist Russia we overthrew in 1917.
