Thank you very much for your answer. No, I will definitely use it for good. For sure.

The only way to use a patent “for good” is to prevent someone else from patenting it and exploiting it.

If you’re serious, then release a copy-left license for the patent (but not necessarily your implementation/product/sdk)

Otherwise, just add your commercial licensing terms to your website already so people aren’t misled into thinking they’ll be able to do anything with this idea unless they pay you.

Agreed. I don’t think this deserves to be shown to HN given that most people here are strong supporters of free and open source
