Hi Bill: Might I offer the following, as being of perhaps only marginal relevance but of some interest because of Charles Babbage's involvement, though in fact it it does not concern his computing interests: Charles Babbage and the Anglo-American Copyright Dispute Randell, B.

Greetings, SIGCIS.
I'm looking for historical sources on the development of intellectual property principles and practices to use in a graduate computer science class.
Of course, there is plenty of information on IP in IT and the history of IP in general, but I would like to find sources that tell a story across the development of computing in particular and relate it to other factors in technology and society.
Also, any syllabus examples or suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks, Bill
