Wrong in all accounts.
All inventions that's not created under the threat of a gun is motivated by greed and ambition. If every single inventor great or small in the past did not apply patent for his/her invention, then your statement might have merit.
Greed is neither a virtue nor a sin, it just is, a natural part of man. If you value something as good, you will want more of it. The method chosen by the individual to satisfy his greed and ambition is the only place where moral judgment can and need to be passed. He can either create wealth, or steal wealth created by others. And if that individual thought things through, he'll know only the first choice will work out in the end.
If some arbitrary convention is your standard (bible, public opinion..etc.), then anything can be a sin, greed, ambition, sex, use of condom.
If a person's moral standard is reason, is what will work out in the end, then there is no sin except stupidity.
