I personally don't have a problem with copyright. I do have some issues with
"owning" ideas... :-)
That's fine, so do I. Copyright has nothing to do with owning ideas, it only covers a
particular expression of an idea. I suppose the term "intellectual property"
might suggest otherwise, but the rules around copyright are quite clear about this.
I think we're pretty much on the same page.
Intellectual Property, as I use it here, covers more than just copyright.
(Patents are somewhat different, but they are are far more limited in time.)
Let's not even go there. Software patents are a quagmire.
