   While I agree with that logical and rational perspective, if everyone   
   else followed that logical rationale, we never would've had any Forth   
   micro-processors.  Yet, those Forth micro-processors produced lots of   
   patents on new processor technology which other companies, like Intel   
   and AMD, had to pay up billions for.  Universities play the same game,   
   get there first, patent it up, make others pay.  Patent trolls do to.   
      
   Anyway, "You doth protest too much!"  Whenever DOOM is ported to yet   
   another device, no one complains.  Yet, when DOS is ported to yet   
   another device, everyone runs away screaming.
