No, you weren't using "modern eyes intentionally in context". You wrote "I'd have wondered less about whether it could work in constrained environments", and your description comes across as unintentional. That

There's a problem with your argument (replacing 'copyright' for 'trademark' as others have pointed out). What level of name protection applies to command-line tools? For example, can the GNU project replace existing

I used it for about 1000 pages I photographed with a DSLR. The automatic dewarping rarely worked for me, so I ended up doing it manually. It likely didn't help that many of the pages were typed carbon copies or hand-written. For the fo

I believe it's a joke. Gold isn't a gold-like substance because it is gold. Algol isn't an Algol-like language because it's Algol. If so, I don't believe it's a good joke.
