[computer-go] Intellectual Property

["Robin Kramer" <robin@xxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone on this list know if comments in code are a natural language
and therefore are protected by copyright laws.  If for example someone who
wanted to write a paper contributed some code, would the comments in the
code prevent someone else from usurping the idea and publishing a paper? 
I know that the code itself is not sufficient to produce, a copyright,
patent etc.  I am interested in protecting the rights of anyone who should
want to share code, including myself.

Sincerely,

Robin Kramer
