Is source code covered?Is source code covered?Posted Apr 23, 2006 20:00 UTC (Sun) by tao (guest, #17563)In reply to: Is source code covered? by Ross Parent article: Write Free Software, Pay $203,000 to Patent Holder (Right to Create)
In the US you can patent algorithms and business ideas, thus thought patents.
"A method for listening to input from the user, running on a computer"
with the mention of the computer, they can then claim that it isn't a software patent at all... Hence the name CII (Computer Implemented Inventions).
To paraphrase Shakespeare: A heap of shit by any other name is still a heap of shit.
