Well what about the instance of writing your own headers? I've been working
with driving hardware mostly so I am thinking of an example where a specific
piece of hardware stores a specific structure in memory:
struct {
u32 cmd;
u32 status;
};
Would that make l-k programmers liable because drivers for windows existed
first? As it was explained to me by a lawyer things that can be done only one
way are not considered derived or infringedupon. It falls under a separate
category.
Just that I make my self clear. I am not really asking for a legal advice, I
don't think any of us here are IP lawyers. What I am trying to understand is
what people _think_ about certain aspects of this issue.
Thanks.
