Nakamotos' CODE is what's licensed.

The blockchain is the output of that code.

I don't imagine that there is any license attached to that, just as Microsoft doesn't control the license of the document you write in Word.

I'm not a lawyer, however, but that's what I think at least...

Is that what you're looking for?

I kinda am. The blockchain is the original work, what you write in word is yours, 'cause you are the author. The problem here is that Nakamoto is the author of the code and also of the blockchain its SUBSEQUENT use is licensed, no problem. But the use of the very first work, which is still running? that is not right?


Well man Ill answer it for him. IMO I think the bitcoin is nakamoto's work itself. Even if every bitcoin is unique it is still the original work of nakamoto since nakamoto is the one who created it. And the blockchain itslelf isn't a copy. Well it is a carbon copy if it is about some altcoins blockchain like site you are talking about. I hope that I answered your question.

I have sort of the same opinion, what I am looking for is pretty much unequivocal consent or a disagreement.
