Why hashtag (#) inventor did not patent the application?


Chris Messina created hashtag (#) as a folksonomy and invented it spontaneously at the spur of a moment, but it was never patented. Why?

1. The creator had no intention of making money.
2. Monopoly inhibits adoption.
3. May be the idea is not new and there is a prior art.
4. Controversy about who invented? Chris Messina or Axel Schultze.

Another example of not patenting like http protocol developed by Tim Berners Lee.
