Not a ton of expert programmer + copyright lawyers, but I bet they're out there

You can probably find a good number of expert programmer + patent lawyers. And presumably some of those osmose enough copyright knowledge from their coworkers to give a knowledgeable answer.

At the end of the day though, the intersection of both doesn't matter. The lawyers win, so what really matters is who has the pulse on how the Fed Circuit will rule on this

Also in this specific case from the article, it's irrelevant?
