Hi,
My name is Jürgen. I am not a lawyer but a public certified IT expert in
Germany. I have served in copyright cases several times as a technical
expert (welte versus router manufacturers) and others.
Copyright law does protect implementations only, not ideas nor
algorithms. Implementations do manifest itself in terms of sourcecode.
As long a the sourcecode (the implementation) is different everything is
ok. The implementation is not different if you change minor topics
(variable names ) only. In this case the newer work is based on the old
implementation and considered a derived work.
The technical examination and judgement is based on sourcecode
investigations only. The person who has written the code is from minor
interest.
