> Compilations are things like phone books, or a street directory. What about books of driving directions? Before ubiquitous access to navigation applications, I would have AAA assemble a book of directions for long trips. Each page represented instructions on which decisions I were to make AND when to make them. I would argue that code represents an equivalent level of abstraction to the book of directions. The language's grammar being equivalent to the available choices on the road system. > Judges would look at that and think "wait no, that breaks everything" Is that not how new precedent is set? |

That's kinda my point. I doubt judges want to set a precent that all books are now "compilations".
