Patent Notice

[Jason Kanter]

First I thought this was a joke. Then I remembered that my own intellectual property attorney told me that under the new patent/copyright law, Newton could patent Gravity. Who'se got dibs on pi?

Seriously, David, can you prevent people from using a formula? Sounds like an attempt at thought control to me.
