It seems to me to be a pretty small fragment of the algorithm. It also
contains at least one typo.
Thanks for pointing the link to the opinion itself. It's fun reading in
many ways, and the judges clearly have a sense of humor as well as a
solid grasp of the technical issues. In analyzing the constitutional
protection accorded to things like source code, which is both functional
and a form of human expression, they included this footnote:
16 If it were, we would have expected the Supreme Court to start and end
its analysis of David Paul O'Brien's burning of his draft card with an
inquiry into whether he was kept warm by the ensuing flames. See United
States v. O'Brien, 391 U.S. 367 (1968).
Hopefully I'll see some of you tomorrow at the Claremont, and we can
gloat some more. I also have a draft of a paper on my attack-resistant
name service that I'll bring.
