Although I have great faith that Linux has done nothing wrong I do not
have much faith in a jury of my peers when it comes to technical issues
where even otherwise intelligent people can be duped. Jury trials on
technical issues worry me.
Which is exactly the problem with copyright laws being applied to
computer software. At some point the law needs to decide is software an
invention or a work of "art". patent inventions, copyright the written
word. I don't believe source code should be considered both. Of course I
also hate how process patents have affected all of this.
