"You can not patent code. You can only patent an invention which is implemented in your code. An invention is a new and unique way of doing something. Most of all, it must be something nobody did before. If anyone used the same technique which you describe in your patent, that's called prior art and invalidates your patent. So trying to get a patent on something somebody else invented and implemented in code would be futile. ..."
No shit. Relevance?
Did you somehow forget your dev is crypto's biggest patent troll?
While I am unsure on the matter, I think nChain has the largest portfolio of patents in the crypto currency and Blockchain space. Not knowing your definition of "patent troll" -- not exactly a dictionary term -- I really have no way to respond to your question.
Incidentally, the title of 'your dev' is a complete non-sequitur, seeing as 'dev' is pretty universally applied to 'the peeps who write the code'. An activity that CSW (am I safe in assuming it is him to which you refer?) pays others to do. And, of course, that whole 'your' thing.
Though whatever the outcome of that little sidebar, it sheds exactly zero light upon the questionable relevance of the quoted tirade by BitcoinFX.
Try again? Or let BitcoinFX speak for him/herself?

Apparently being a fraud and a conman wasn't low enough for him.

You fail to establish any relevancy for your spouting. You also seem to have a rather flawed understanding of IP law. Lesson one: patents and copyrights are two completely different things.
Exactly what point do you think you are making by quoting the Open BSV License?

Do you honestly think I don't know the difference (or similarities) between a patent and copyright.
Completely moronic.
BSV is a copy of a copy of original Bitcoin (BTC) which was forked at BCH block height #556767. It's in the BSV 'source code' repo.
Totally moronic.
