Title: RE: derived works

Ø  I'll contact my legal department today

 

I hope that you find this to be constructive.

 

This is a relatively small piece of code, and with enough effort it is always possible to

take the concepts and write a completely new code (it really helps to have the original ideas

and the original source code to look at). Maybe it’s even strictly  legal to take the low road.

I think the wider issue is this; we get to choose, we can work together or duplicate effort

creating  functionally equivalent codes. Hence my feeling compelled to consume some

bandwidth to discuss the issue on tech-talk.

Some other points of fact.

Strictly speaking - it is a work that was based on the concepts not copied.
No author was listed - not you nor Michael.
We can have our legal departments discuss the issue.
I'll contact my legal department today. They are very helpful this way.
We'll let you know the results. We will also share them with tech-talk so that we can all learn the strict legal interpretation of authorship. I think this is not the first time this has struck a nerve.
