In article <1991Sep2.022713.24921@midway.uchicago.edu> geyer@galton.uchicago.edu writes:
   What should not be allowed is any charge of patent infringement based on
   purely mathematical isomorphism.  One should have to copy some code or some
   circuitry.  Something more than the mathematics should be involved.

This is called a "copyright". There is little question that copyrights
on software are a good idea, and groups like the LPF do not oppose
software copyrights.
