In Response To: Implementation and Stealing (protexts) : By the same logic, if I write a novel and decide not to publish it , but send
That's completely different... because he used the exact same words. If he had taken your idea, ellaborated it, turned it into something very different and published it... then it wouldn't be stealing... at least, by the guidelines of the US courts and patent/copyright offices... Xerox PARC was a GUI that used windows only to show icons that represented verb actions... "Open" "Close" "Move"...etc. Also, to reposition the windows, you had to use a coordinate box and enter the coordinates on the screen... Apple took that GUI base and built upon it until they had what we see in Apple's GUI even today... and Xerox's GUI is something we really don't see anywhere anymore... so Apple's was very different and better... and survives today. Carbon copying is what Windows is to the Mac OS... your example with the novel is a "Carbon Copy" of someone else's work... Xerox PARC and Apple are examples of someone creating something new off of a basic idea or product. PCD |
