I think that the word "copy" may be a significant cause of artificial disagreement here. I, for one, find it just as misleading as "free" (is it as-in-beer or as-in-speech?).
Larry -- would you be willing, in future postings of this nature, to distinguish "duplicate" and "reimplement"? (Perhaps someone else will find better, more obviously different, words, but that's the best I can do today.) If you did this, at least the discussions about whether you refer to copyright or patents would disappear.
