i found this an interesting bit about graphic design and fonts. i thought i would pass it along as i know some of you on here actually are graphic designers. maybe this is old news to you, but i thought it was cool.

i've copylefted most of the code i've ever written. the thought of code being copywritten, or patentable, downright scares me. i mean, what if someone had a copyright on multiplication tables?

ideas shouldn't be 'owned'.
