[dba-Tech] Self-serving plug

I'll just include this for other's on this list,
I don't know if you have done this with your source code.

Rather than going for a patent.
One other thing to do is file a copyright, you have a copyright 
automatically but you cannot sue for infringement, unless it is registered
This costs $30. You send in roughly first and last 25 pages of source 
code with blocked out trade secrets.
Government processing time is six months.
For US details see:
