No, that is not correct. If someone publishes a formula and you 
optimize it and come up with different periods or apply it in a 
different way that is your work. 

Let me use an example to show the subtlety of this. Every car has an 
engine and transmission. Every different variation has a different 
patent. There may be only a small variation but you would not have to 
pry royalties on the new variation. You can do two things, publish it 
or patent it. Once you do either then the work you did is in the 
public domain and no one else can patent your work.

good discussion is at http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Copyrights. OF 
course this isn't official but it is an easier read than the law 
books. People like Wilder published his works so others could benefit 
from his discoveries. What the copyright laws do is prevent someone 
from copying his work and selling it. But the intellectual property 
he disclosed is for our use. Why else would he publish it?Barry--- In
