Purposive Evolution: Crosscut 1.1 is really splendid. And it's constructed in a way that forces it to become even more powerful, prescient, and user-friendly. Can you copyright the design, and later versions/enhacements of it? If you can, you should. Others will attempt to copy or steal features and innovations from ...
