If we are going to look at the beginnings of the PC explosion with an eye towards allowed patents, wouldn't it have been likely the entire "clone" market would have been illegal? Copyright was only not applied because the stuff was developed by people that didn't see the original stuff. This "loophole" doesn't exist for patents.
