[Leaplist] Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat & Novell

[Homer Whittaker]

 From that and numerous other articles it seems to me that people seem 
to believe that just because they write something and have it published 
that this in itself establishes a right to claim a copyright.  Many such 
formula seemed to have started back in the far past ages.  Then all of a 
sudden some character says it's mine by right of publication and so the 
world smiles on them and says "of course".
Methinks that is or should be, BULL.
