Exactly right.
IMHO, all this should be in public domain.
Couple of tens of years ago, there were two mathematicians, who tried to patent their solution of Hilbert's theorem.. without disclosing it in paper (because, this would have compromise their "rights" as supposed discoverers. I am not sure if anything came out of this ( in terms of correct solution for the starters).
This behaviour, even being quite legal, is very selfish, and quite outrageous actually
But we are all just humans...
