Karate is a blend of White Crane style Kung fu and Okinawan Wrestling (te). Legend says that Kung fu was created by the Bodhidharma in the Buddhist temples of China and that he was an Indian prince.
{| |- | It wasn't discovered so much as it evolved over centuries. The origins of karate are shrouded in mystery. The Chinese came to Okinawa and brought with them kung fu. It was combined with the native art of Te and became karate. It became a necessity when King Sho Shin made the wearing of swords illegal in 1477. |}
Karate is a blend of Okinawan fighting style known as Te and Chinese Kung Fu. No one person started it.

Why can't you use karate outside of karate school?
You can, but only in the act of avoiding serious harm to yourself or one who is under attack. To better understand some of the ideas that define karate, you might want to read a book called "The Twenty guiding principles of Karate" by Gichin Funakoshi (translated by John Teramoto). The second and third principles (chapters) of this book are titled "There is no first strike in karate" and "Karate stands on the side of justice". These words alone are enough to give you your answer.
