and while the copyrighted Java code might use 32 inch interior door to call up
code to create a solid walnut door carved out of a large walnut tree, Dalvik
would use 32 inch interior door to call up code to create a pine framed door
with a 4 millimeter veneer of walnut sheet. It's different, non-infringing code.
The words "32 inch interior door" is language. New words are created
by some one who needs a new word. The new word becomes slang if enough people
use it with the same meaning and eventually it becomes part of a dictionary if
it becomes mainstream.
If you want your "32 inch inch interior door" word to be necessary
you have to let everyone use it. Once you let everyone use it you have to take
it back and charge for it to be used. Great way to make money if you can pull it
off; Aye?
