But I do have a patent, in multiple countries, and have legal advice. How is that suppose to stop people like the op? He clearly didn't bother with any of it, and EFF is on the side of crooks like him.
So I spend all my fortune on R&D, spend another fortune on legal, and the result is that my kids have nothing to eat, because there is always a way when none of it means squat. Whether it's RCA ripping off Farnsworth, who has to fight all his life to protect his invention, or Edison blatantly stealing from Melies by simply changing the titles in his movies and swapping French text for English.

You realize Farnsworth ripped off Braun?
Also, if you have a patent, you can always sue. That’s not an issue.

I'm a card carrying EFF member. The EFF supports Internet Freedom and Privacy (those things go hand in hand).
Without even looking, if they're against you the chances are they're in the right. I've yet to see them do anything I disagree with as someone who considers those points very important.
If you spend years of R&D on algorithms, patent them.
But boilerplate code can neither be patented nor copyrighted (except in its source form, but the binary, for example, can’t), so you never owned anything to begin with.
