Would be fun to have a market for functions (literally programming functions) Let the original author keep the insides secret, maybe the protection decays over

Would be fun to have a market for functions (literally programming functions)
Let the original author keep the insides secret, maybe the protection decays over time (say a year)
Sounds a lot like copyright but sensible and the false constraint is only to make the game fun : P
- mjmahone 15y agoThing is, you don't need to copyright: you could have people actually looking at the code, and those who can program things are still going to be able to profit off it. You don't want to give people a monopoly in an MMO. That being said, perhaps you have to buy physical disks to store the data on, which makes it slightly more difficult to virally spread a program. But like most information, once you have access to it you should be able to share it.
