Whoopee.  That means absolutely nothing.  My VHDL listings describing
my hardware system are literature as well.  So I guess that means that
you think that both software and hardware should be protected by
copyright, and like the others on this list, against patenting for
both hardware and software.  Confess your real intentions.
