Laws against theft. Also the same reason employees don't release the code on pastebin or something.

The org or person who was granted the software patent.

> Will everything get copied eventually?
If we're lucky. More likely everything bitrots as technical capabilities are lost. Slowly at first, then quickly.

- Y_Y 8mo agoWhich patent are you referring to?
- shwaj 8mo agoAny patent. The question was who owns a (arbitrary) algorithm. The elaborated answer is that nobody “owns” an algorithm (i.e. has intellectual property rights to it) without a patent: in USA and many other jurisdictions, patents are the IP tool relating to algorithms.
