John David Hennessey

John David Hennessey (1847 – 31 July 1935), also known as Rev. J. D. Hennessey and David Hennessey,[1] journalist and author, was born in London and went to Australia in 1875. He lived in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Hennessey was a Methodist and Congregational minister and preached at the Wharf street Congregational Church in Brisbane and the Pitt street Congregational Church in Sydney.[2] He founded the Australian Christian World in 1886 and edited it until 1891. In 1894 he edited the Australian Field, a weekly agricultural paper.[2]

Hennessey retired from journalism when about seventy years old, however he continued his literary work until shortly before his death, which occurred after a brief illness. He was buried at the Dromana Cemetery.

As well as short stories in magazines in Australia and England, Hennessey published several novels. One, The Outlaw, was awarded second prize of £400 in a £1,000 novel competition.[2]

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?

gollark: At least, they mostly do somewhat new-for-CC things (except OSes) but not things which haven't been done before in another context.

gollark: Because most CC things are not, some offense in general to people maybe but not really, novel enough to be patentable, because of "prior art".

gollark: So how does it work, you can arbitrarily patent things then sue people?
