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?
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".
