Creationist Copyright

The generally-accepted (by insano-Christian types, anyway) date for the creation of the universe is Archbishop James Ussher's calculation of September 22nd, 4004BC. This makes the universe 6011 years old as of last September.

Assuming a 90-year copyright, the universe would have passed into the public domain in September 3914BC, or 5922 years ago as of last September.

Traditional Hebrew calculations of the age of the universe are slightly more favourable, since they place the Creation at sometime in September/October 3761BC (can't really be more accurate than that without more research on my part). However, this still would have the universe passing into the public domain in 3671BC.

Of course, this assumes that the copyright period is 90 years; obviously, if it's 75 years then it's even less favourable.

This also ignores the fact that the universe was written in Perl and Lisp, which suggests that God is in favour of free software; in fact, since he's a Lisp hacker with an obvious interest in artificial intelligence, he probably has quite a bit in common with rms.
