The developer works at Wolfram, just FYI.

He should double-check his contract to see if there's an "anything you do either inside or outside of Wolfram Inc. is automatically our property" clause.

Stephen Wolfram knows about this. He just hasn't taken action yet.

[techgipper]

So, he's just been sitting around for several years just waiting to "take action" ... doesn't really make sense. I'd also like to think that Jan Poeschko is smart enough to read a contract.

It takes ages to grow the sharks to full size, even with the extra heat from the volcano.

It's all well and good until someone forks it and tries to compete with mathamatica.

That's like saying Apple should be afraid someone straps a microphone to a raspberry pi and starts competing with the iPhone.

[steve19]

If the designer of the rpi works for Apple, the rpi is designed to work like an iPhone and apple. Probably owns the rpi ip the best yes its EXACTLY the same.

Is that a dare? :)

He'll take action when he determines that it's dangerous. Nobody except for police officers takes action as soon as they know about a problem.

If he’s in California, then the automatic exclusions are reasonably strong.

If he's in the United States, API copyrightability kicks in.
