Re: [lojban] Re: lojban and PR

There are other issues too.

{mu'a}

The language is not finalized yet (as evidenced by the {ji'i} 200 discussion about {zo'e}).
The language is not self-hosting (many definitions of words, especially gismu, rely on another language, often English, to be understood)
The learning material is out-dated (old morphology rules, xorlo, dot side, etc).
The people who are actively working on the language (of whom there are few) are doing so in their spare time.

As for your question of "Who's got the patent?", international IP law is even more complicated than any single nation's, but in the US, first of all, the language would be protected by a copyright (if at all), and (although I don't understand all the details) I think the answer to your question is "The Logical Language Group, Inc.".

I can't help much here; but here's what I have. While I wholeheartedly agree with your general terms, I believe that revamping the language first before taking such big steps should be a priority... Arabic lived for more than 500 years as a poetry (and day-to-day) language with its people before it became the language of science for centuries more (after al-Qur'an of course)... My point is, we should take this a transitional stage towards a more sophisticated, easier to use and more culturally neutral language... I still don't like that Lojban only used six base languages; I'd rather it be 100% a priori language...
Good day and good luck,
