Almost all softwares are plagiarism. To start with all GNU projects
are a plagiarism of some kind. GNU is plagiarism of UNIX. GCC from
other compilers.
KDE is a plagiarism from Windows GUI who is a plagiarism from Mac OS
GUI who is a plagiarism from Xerox labs.
Software patents are just ridiculous. On the International Free
Software Forum on a lecture about Patents was said that until recently
there were patents from Double Clicking.
On the United States there is a patent for almost everything existing.
Microsoft is trying to patent smileys.
So how big companies survive? They have agreements to cover each
other, to kill the independent vendors.
Using True Type fonts on Linux can be considerede illegal, but you can
use them on Macs and Windows because Microsoft and Apple have an
agreement that both can use this.
