I am not a lawer... But you say "the rules of a game cannot be copyrighted."
Let's suppose that my computer is a game, k?
So my programs are the rule to play/use the game... so following that logic, 
they can't be copyright, so all that EULA as just shit :)

I have heard that what you can copyright is the style of play, for example you 
can copy right D&D, you can copyright the Critical Hit table, but you can't copy 
right the method of throwing a dice to resolve action. :)

Anyway, with all that shit about patents, i think that you will be able to 
patent it to. :-(
