If I read a lot of GPL code, absorb naming conventions, structures, patterns, tricks and later when it comes down to writing a P2P Chat server, I happen to recall similar patterns, naming structures, conventions and many of the utility methods are pretty much how they are in the GPL code bases out there.
Now is my produced code is also GPL derivative because I certainly did read through the code base to be able to write larger programs?

- DemocracyFTW 5y ago> humans are capable of abstract understanding and have a breadth of other knowledge to draw from this may be a matter of time and thus is not a fundamental objection. If mankind should fail to answer the perennial question of exploitation of the other and the same, it will be doomed. And rightly so, for mankind must answer this question, it must answer to this question. Instead what we do is increase monetary output then go and brag about efficiency. Neither is this efficient, nor is it about efficiency, nor has the Universe ever cared about efficiency. It just happens to coincide with what Society has decided to be its most looked-upon elements have chosen to be their religion. It is not my religion to be sure.
