How Wolfram Alpha could change software | Developer World - InfoWorld: "In other words, Wolfram Research is claiming that each page of results returned by the Wolfram Alpha engine is a unique, copyrightable work, like a report or term paper. That makes Wolfram Alpha different not just from classic search engines, but from most software. While software companies routinely retain sole ownership of their software and license it to users, Wolfram Research has taken the additional step of claiming ownership of the output of the software itself. It's a bold assertion, and one that could have significant ramifications for the software industry as a whole."
InfoWorld (07/30/09) McAllister, Neil: "Works produced by machines are copyrightable, at least in theory."
