About the copyright discussion:

Copyright doesn't protect the idea of an author, just the actual TEXT.

Sec 102 Paragraph (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. 

"Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, systems, or methods of 
doing something. You may express your ideas in writing or drawings and 
claim copyright in your description, but be aware that copyright will 
not protect the idea itself as revealed in your written or artistic 
work. " - Taken from the Government FAQ

Now flame me, and tell me I'm wrong.
