You state:
See, some creativity is needed even to walk from point
A to point B.
I disagree. Creativity in walking from point A to
point B can be involved, but doesn't necessarily mean it is involved.
The
fact that another example was given - in this case, a different computer
language - speaks more towards the limitation requirements of the language
applied. The logic is still the same, the language dictates how the logic is
.... enunciated.
As for your questions, I decline to respond to them.
They appear to be more Legally oriented. Perhaps someone else will be willing
to take up such a discussion.
I'll stick to the discussion with whether
or not a range check function is dictated by requirements, is something creative
or is something of both.
And my software developer opinion is:
While
comments in the code can be quite creative, the code itself tends to be purely
functional.
Limited creativity can be applied - but only because there is a
small, finite set of logic that can be authored to achieve the same result. One
can get much more creative if one doesn't mind authoring bloatware.... or
logical paths that'll never evaluate true so they'll never run, etc.
How
that plays out with regards Copyright Law? We get to see how it plays out in
the various cases fought over it.
