what if i can arrive at same solution with differant language
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, July 20 2012 @ 12:46 AM EDT
what if i can arrive at same solution with differant
language and thus my machine say coded at a lower level to
the machines binary kernal is this more efficient , does
that mean i derived off that other coders works or patents
of his machine when i clearly did something in another
language.

ITS like some upper class guy giving a 40 minute speech with
long eloquent words and structure and me saying in 1 sentence:
YA the party is at 5pm....

we both have our WAYS to arrive at a solution but the end
result is the same....this is really about controlling
efficiency and productivity and innovation.

ID rather just hear the part is at 5 pm then have to be
forced to hear a 40 minute speech to get that solution.

Does Programming a Computer Make A New Machine?~By PolR
Authored by: ftcsm on Friday, July 20 2012 @ 12:07 PM EDT
The problem is that software if know to be purely expression
of ideas and then unpatentable.

So the new "theory" is that it should be allowed cause that a
bundle of "machine + software" is something new. So that's the
purpose of the article, show it's not that.

Want protection for software? Copyright.

If they need to be considered together, then it's illegal to restrict distribution of software

Because that's just blueprint publication, which patent law guarantees as a
RIGHT.
