A question about intellectual property
Discussion about restrictive vs permissive licences recently, prompted me to
think about this scenario: suppose I see a flowchart algorithm in a
professional medium (eg a textbook, or professional journal), and I go ahead
and develop some software heavily based on that algorithm;
is that software "mine"?
am I free to sell it as my own product?
do I have to acknowledge the source of the flowchart?
do I need to get permission from the author to use the diagram at all?
Thank you
