Yeah, using an ISO standard language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Programming_languages_with_an_ISO_standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Programming_languages...) avoids this problem. There a spec is specifically produced so that there can be multiple implementations.
- fixermark 8y agoBut regardless of what language you use, this legal precedent is saying if you, for example, copy Twitter's RESTful API to create your own messaging service where all the existing Twitter clients can change a few constants and adopt you as a target, Twitter could sue. That's not something ISO protects against (unless there's an international standard for asymmetric message services you can design against).
