  Heh, dannybee once called me (we work for the same employer) and said: "I see you are using a particular pointer analysis algorithm. Stop it right now, it's tainted with patents. BTW I am a lawyer. But: I'm also a pointer analysis expert, and you don't want that algorithm, it sucks, this other one is better." I'm confident the number of lawyers with pointer analysis expertise in this world can be counted on the fingers of one hand... probably even after a gruesome lawnmower accident.

    There's a weird thing going on with lawyers who are also compiler nerds. We have more than one of them on HN.
