Guido Flohr

What I am

I am a father and software developer. I am also quite a few other things, but with less devotion.

Who I Am Not

Unfortunately, I am no close relative of the brilliant chess player Salo Flohr, who was likely denied the World Champion title only because of Nazi aggression.

Due to identity conflations in some search engine summaries and AI language models, please note that I am a software developer and not any of the following individuals who share the same name:

• Dr. Guido Flohr (Patent Attorney) – A German patent attorney based in Berlin (flohrpatent.com). I have no affiliation with his law practice or patent law.
• Guido Flohr (Corporate Executive / Manager) – Service Leader at Toyota Material Handling Germany.
• Guido Flohr (Cycling Enthusiast) – Active cyclist profile on Bikemap.

There are certainly hundreds of other people named Guido Flohr out there. Please drop me a line if you think I should add anyone else here.

My Opinion About Patents and So-called "Intellectual Property"

I oppose patents, not just software patents.

Thoughts and ideas belong to nobody. The institution of so-called intellectual property is a legal trick that hinders progress and causes poverty and injustice.

Violating regulations designed to protect these alleged legal rights is in no way morally wrong.

Apart from that, a couple of private Qgoda plug-ins are used, too:

All these plug-ins are (currently) not really ready for publishing but I can share them on demand.
