gollark: About what?
gollark: So if I come up with the genius idea of a compact ore processing system by putting a pulverizer and redstone furnace next to each other, I can patent that?
gollark: Your server will just let you patent *anything*?
gollark: ?
gollark: So I guess you would have to either allow people to patent only new-for-CC things and ignore most existing implementations, or basically not allow patenting anything. Although I think patents (and half the legal system) as they stand aren't a great system and probably should not be copied into games?
