RE: strsep sourc

[pgmr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Geez Scott,
Just be reasonable about it. God only knows that the courts won't be. (See
George Harrison, "My sweet lord" vs. "He's so fine")
The law is that if you write an application to do something and copyright
it, someone else can't duplicate or use the code for any computer system.
You can't copyright a screen or report, but you can copyright a transaction
format. You cannot copyright an idea, but you can patent it (see e_Bay). I
am not a lawyer, nor is this legal advice. Just comments from someone who
has been down this road many times.
John

So are you saying that if somebody WAY back when had copyrighted the "code"
to add two numbers together, we may be having to pay royalties today if
they wanted?   Got to go work on that time machine now.
