Sir,
You have made this claim many times, and asserted various lawyers have told you it is true. Please explain the details. The GPL and LGPL specifically cover source code, * not* algorithms. How can the act of reading *GPL source code expose you to liability, any more than reading a novel can prevent you from writing your own?
Apple sued Microsoft based on "Look-and-Feel". In this case, it was fortunate that Microsoft won.
Lawyers are not compared to sharks for the heck of it.
