Well sure, but obtaining a patent is no small thing (if done seriously). So I'm curious why they feel it's so important to protect this.

Basically I'm wondering if it's just a purely defensive move, (maybe an investor asked them to file a patent or whatever), or whether they are aiming for a business model where people create things using a language that they control and can obtain fees for its use.

Of course they don't have any reason to share this info with us at this point.
