I sure some marketing company that passes it's self off as a software company would like to claim a simple "hello world" program should be copyrightable. I think that's a load of non-gamma corrected render. 

The only sure way to find out what node set up is and is not copyrightable is to have it go to court in many different countries. But it would be nice to have a quick simple cheap solution on this first.

Where does Bagginsbill draw the line, or any of the other node gurus?
