I guess somebody owns the copyright of "See spot run", but I would
suprised if somebody had patented "Teaching children to read" (quick!
get to the patent office! :-)
Just throwing in standard textbooks into an interactive
learning tool will not produce an useable product. There is a great deal
of reworking of the basic ideas needed. If one could use the sesame
street material it would help, but it would still not do the main part
of the work for you.
