We really should send this conversation to the fsf to support their arguing
against software patents. Only we didn't talk about software but real
patents here... Arnold Krille wrote:

Please tell me when you do that. I will be the next in the line to
register all the blue-notes and all the non-even-tempered notes.
Basicly I would register all the frequencies not already registered
by you... Would be really a lot of royalties.
Geez, Arnold, you are an idea monster! I had never considered
blue-notes OR microtonal possibilities at ALL. Well, there goes a
small fortune I could have locked up...
