I believe that the way things work with patents/prior art is that you can only patent something if you are the first one to come up with an idea. If someone had the idea before you (and it is documented reliably), then it doesn't matter if they patented it or not. Not patenting something means that you can't stop other people from using what you invent. But it doesn't mean that someone else can patent it.

Of course I could be wrong.
