Do referrers get paid out of new members' £10 fees?

No. Paying a referrer out of a recruit's subscription would be a chain-recruitment pyramid scheme under the UK Trading Schemes Act 1996 and Trading Schemes Regulations 1997. Every member's £10 stays with The Dev Log. Members who reach 4+ active referrals unlock a Trusted Member badge and become eligible to apply for paid contributor work — payment is for work delivered, not for recruitment.

An independent member-funded broadcast and learning platform: ethics documentaries, an online classroom, a religious reform library, an elders-speak storytelling wall and a community feed. £10 per month via PayPal. Educational only — nothing here is legal, medical or financial advice.

Are any of the inventions in the registry granted patents?

No. The inventions registry at /inventions lists ideas, drafts and openly-published doctrines belonging to the community. Nothing on it has been granted by the UK Intellectual Property Office. Listing confers no monopoly, no licensing power and no advisory authority.
