No, you can't. You can *patent* ideas. I am less sure
about whether a language (which can be regarded as an
encoding for information) can be patented. Sonja, how

Hasn't Microsoft put some type of protection on C#? Haven't you heard of
proprietary languages? Not that I agree with such a thing, but we should be
careful.
