So what I'm wondering is, is there such a thing as ownership with a PD patch?
PureData is a programming language. The Diagram is the Program (tm). A program is legally considered as a literary work, in most countries that have a copyright law. According to some treaty in 1978, things do not need be registered with the copyright office and national library to be copyrighted: any copyrightable thing is copyrighted by default.
Can anyone direct me to info on this? I'd like to be prepared for anything this little trade school might try.
Get the fine print legally cancelled?
Switch to another school?
Get accustomed to having your brain 0wned by the school?
Pray?
