Let's say you design a new weapon, one with the potential to take the lives of hundreds of millions if produced. Your invention will be revolutionary, being developed and used by all military. It will replace our current arsenal in a way that firearms replaced bows & arrows.
[i]Obviously, you will be paid billions for your design...[/i]
Do you share your invention with the world or do you make sure it never sees the light of day?

I wouldn't do it as much for the money but for the chance that like any weapon created, it'll make war so terribly unbearable that it will in a way prevent war. That's probably a quote from somewhere, but no idea.
