Re: [Protux-devel] ABSOLUTELY URGENT

[Luciano Giordana]

Now I understand better you idea. Maybe it is really necessary. But it should 
be a "inverse-patent" which grants
everyone the right to use the idea.

I heard that some companies want to patent the digital-audio manipulation thru 
multimedia aplications. Yes, you
read it right. ANY software that uses graphic to display digital audio would be 
ilegal suddenly, including ours.

At least, here in Brazil we have a law that proibits software patents. We hope 
that it will keep like this for years :-)

So I am waiting one more "YES" to put the protest.
