Yes!  Now if copyrights (or some effective anti-piracy method) worked like
patents...

I always liked the *idea* that filing a patent granted the inventor
protection for awhile (presumably so they could profit from their efforts)
in return for a public disclosure of their invention.  Perhaps commercial
software, if filed for government protection, should be required to be
escrowed.

Or use a dongle that looks like a 1-space rack mount unit with 4 knobs, 8
buttons, a power switch and a display on the front...
