    Okay. Maybe mixing patents and copyright was a bad idea. But my point was that basically copyright infringement means violating a copyright license - a document that has been written by some random...

    Copyrights and patents cannot be made a criminal matter since it's a grey area. No document that hasn't been passed by the parliament may be used as a law in a criminal case. Therefore a software...

    I'm talking about situations where you are given some input and you have no way to affect how the input comes, your code just has to complete the task at hand. Therefore, if you have an input file...

    You cannot assume the data to be sorted unless it is explicitly said so. In fact you can't assume anything about input data that is not given in the text. I personally have never seen a programming...

    Obviously I was talking about a hypothetical task. In this case the restriction is O(n) time, in which the unsorted array must be processed. The O(n) restriction starts when you receive input and...
