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.

even these posts are the IP of the individual poster and

These are not
copyright violations. These come under the fair and free use
concept.

appears there is a lot of confusion on copyright laws. A
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
