Playing devil's advocate:
"... the same effect of refusing a license, which (one could argue) would interfere with the progress of science and useful arts."
So does that mean that Google or Coca-Cola should (must?) license their algorithm/recipe for the progress of science and useful arts?
- rglovejoy 18y agoNo, because those are not copyrights. They are trade secrets/patents, which are protected by a different set of laws.
