suppose i made a software library which is perhaps
licensed AGPL

now the thing is this doesn't actually stop corporates from clean-room implementing their own version that they can do whatever they want with and imo that is kind of not good

so i am thinking.... could it actually be a viable thing to get a software patent for your thing. despite software patents being evil. can you have a software patent that coexists with an AGPL licensing for your package such that derivative works are allowed under the AGPL same-license terms but clean-room reimplementation to avoid that isn't allowed
