I'm not talking copyright. I believe there's a difference. I'm talking
about patenting how it works. Like people can patent the process of making
something.

Really don't think this is the same thing. They're talking about code
theft (which I doubt actually happened anyway). I'm talking about patenting
how something is supposed to work. Implementations can be written entirely
different ways, but the end result could be identical.

I really don't know that much on patents and copyright, but I believe
they're not the same thing. If I'm wrong, someone can step in and correct
me.
