Bzzzt. Wrong. Simply writing a modification to someone else's program does not immediately grant you rights to all similar code for eternity.
Prove me wrong if you can, but we need links to actual laws, not just chatter.
It's this type of nonsense that's curbing invention on a huge scale today. Companies suing each other for silly things like gestures. If you swipe from left to right it's patented by company X, but if you swipe up then down it's patented by company Y. Absurd.
