Cheers Matt, My (non-lawyer) advice is to pursue your thing with HTM technology, and don't worry too much about this. If you decide that you want to share your developments with humanity, make it open source and Numenta will embrace that. If it's a real business and you are actually making some real money out of it, give Donna a shout and she'll make a deal that works for you. In between, no-one is going to send the Thought Police after you.
