      When I was a kid, I thought computers and law were both cool, so I wanted to be a patent lawyer. Then I went to school for CS and realized how awful software patents are, so I poured my soul into FOSS.

      I still think patents have a place, just not in software. Screw that.

    “They’ve built a library of small building blocks for character movements. These blocks can be combined in various ways to create a wide range of animations.”

    That’s what they patented. Their animations a tiny bit more modular. The patent and copyright system is literally only their to fuck us.
