And in the rest of the world, where we've had copyright on software since the
year dot, and ALSO where companies pulling the "sue as a means of doing
business" are likely to get their head handed to them on a plate, then
copyright works fine for software.
Take SCO vs IBM for example - how long did that lawsuit last in Germany?
On a slightly different topic, how long did the UK equivalent of Righthaven
last? And what happened to the principals?
In a legal system that actually tries to dispense JUSTICE, and not just LAW,
then copyright on software works fine.

It is a desire to be able to develop software without fear.
As was once possible.
To be free to write software.
Which is what I always understood Software Freedom to mean and why I don't
always see eye to eye with those in the Free Software movement.
I also disagree with nothing you say, my only observation
is to highlight this....
Apple v. Microsoft
A fight over who has the primary right to something that someone stole from
someone else has as much to do with copyright as SCO v IBM and Oracle v Google.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
