um, is anyone that's replied on this thread a member of the University of Glasgow team that developed the software(shoogle)? I'm guessing not. it has obviously already been invented, which means that disclosure arguments are rendered moot by prior art. Moreover, trying to patent something that someone else invented is theft of intellectual property... preventing this is one of the reasons the GPL exists. If you want to go forward on this, check with the authors(see below for contact information) they'd probably be delighted to have community help in developing it. > > > Authors(taken from http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~rod/publications/WilMurHug07Interactive.pdf ): John Williamson Dept.
