Removed "Patent Inventor" from occupation. Michael Mandiberg is dedicated to Open Source, and has not patented his work. Reference:

"I was at a family event, and a distant cousin came up to me to talk about the Bright Bike kits. She thought it was a great idea, but she was very con- cerned that I patent the idea as soon as possible, lest "one of the big bike manufacturers steal it from you and make a lot of money and leave you with nothing." I told her that it would be wonderful if that happened, because I was really interested in design for bike safety and that a major bike manu- facturer could scale up the project much larger than an individual like me could. I also told her that based on my past experience, it was pretty unlikely that her fears would play out but that I still hoped they might."
