[TriEmbed] a little sanity may have been restored in the USA: software patents RIP

[Carl Nobile]

This can really throw a wrench into all NDAs that any software engineer has
ever signed in their life. This would mean that using code, originally from
a proprietary project, would not violate the purpose and concept behind the
project, making it perfectly legal to use this code elsewhere.

I have always worried about this. If I use code, from a propriety project,
some piece of code that had nothing to do with the concept behind the
project, in another project it would be completely legal.

So I guess the only thing that can be patented is the idea and flows not
the actual code.

Good deal considering I understood the document correctly.
