as RMS himself writes at that link trademarks, patents, and copyright are
all referred to as "intellectual property" sometimes. 

I agree that this is a confusing use of the term and that is why I put it
in quotes in my original message.

In the discussion I remember about parula, an employee of TMW was claiming
some sort of "property" on the colormap without specifying what kind
of legal protection they had for it.
