I'm not talking about the language itself. I'm talking about a specific code, and yahoo has tried to do this to run xfire out of buisness and failed. They claimed to have copywrited/patented a specific code. Not the langauge the code was in, but the code itself... i do recall looking at the patent system and you can't copywrite programming code, i'm not sure about languages, though. Paramount copywriting klingon is like some japanese man comming to america and copywrites the usage of the japanese language... I don't think copywriting it is gonna do the language any justice... The so called "klingon translators" out there do a good job enough ruining the language. i'm surprised google hasn't been sued...
