The most important contribution Daguerre made to photography was to get Fox-Talbot off his fat arse and patented his negative/positive process.
Wilhelm (Sarasota)
Actually I believe it was free to the world, except to the English, to whom it was licensed. Fox Talbot instead did not give away his inventions until the RPS I believe pinned him down on the ground and took it away from him, and then gave it to everyone. Daguerre and Niepce's son got a modest pension, Fox Talbot may have gotten less than that. It may have been for the greater good, but I can also see why Fox Talbot held out.
The French government bought it from Daguerre and gave it to the world, except for England. Yay big government!
