If Ronan could prove he invented contact poi he could’ve used existing copyright law (no need for any type of license, PPL or otherwise) to stop the company making his design without his permission – *if* he had both the money and time needed to take it through the courts (something he’d also need to try to enforce a PPL or any other type of license).

Moreover, let’s say he did that – how much money would end up going to the Maori’s whose culture upon which is invention was based? None, right? And how much would’ve gone to Michael Moschen too? None again?
