I believe it is what anybody would do. If you had a hen that laid golden eggs you would sell the eggs and not the hen.

That all depends. Ben Franklin kepts some of his inventions for his own profit and others he gave freely for the greater good of mankind.

Never heard of Ben Franklin selling any chickens.
