Programmers = Songwriters

GROKLAW: "I do not buy it, not at all.

Songwriters are not 'tainted' because they've listened to the radio,
gone to concerts, or even, downloaded songs from the internet.

Novelists are not 'tainted' because they've read books, visited
libraries, or even looked over someone else's shoulder while they were writing.

Tell me again what makes programming fundamentally different from those
professions? And how does that jibe with 'equal protection' doctrine?"
