Not sure what to make of all this Jon
Don't shoot the messenger, I was surprised enough by it to forward it to the list. I guess they imply if you want to keep all implementation details secret you should be patenting instead of publishing? (Patents seems to be free online, NM is $30 per 2 page article?). As Vincent says, the new part of an algorithmic development is often much less than the whole package, and useless to the average user without a gui.
Wonder what this means for any REAL programmers out there who are still programming directly in hex. Their source is most people's compiled, but considerably more interesting to read ;-)
Best, Jon
