Perhaps you should make yourself acquainted with the concept of "cleanroom reimplementation". The whole purpose of which is avoiding to get in contact with original code. If a cleanroom implementation "incidentally" creates identical code, it is not subject to the original copyright. That's different from patents. That might help your confusion. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
