Downvote, this is not an optical illusion.
But then anyone could take them anyway.
I'm saying it is necessary to achieve the aims of the GPL.

Copyright for software is a joke. Software is only copyrightable thing, where mandatory copy is not enforced.
Free software is response to software copyright and software patents.

It has nothing to do with trademark.
Example. Copyright is a joke. For art if you have more lawyers, you win. For software mandatory copy laws are not enforced and source code gets destroyed forever.
Patent documents are rarely useful because they're kept as general and opaque as possible to cover as many innovations as possible.
I think this is a problem that can be fixed inside of patent system. Make it so by the end of patent life there is "how to build production line of this" manual.
This was taken BEFORE tram went to ramming speed.
