[amsat-bb] Who I'm voting for (long)

[Bruce Perens]

I am not entirely sure that it would have been copyrightable, in any case.

17 USC 102(b): In no case does copyright protection for an original work of
authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of
operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in
which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.

Such things are the domain of patent rather than copyright. And we can
discuss another time why AMSAT should not pursue patents.

Of course, most people stick a copyright declaration on things without ever
understanding that. Don't try to take it to court.
