By that logic one can break down every feature of the leaked XP kernel into minuscule parts of work, copy a couple lines of code from the leak and claim that this is not copyright infringement.
Again: Daring you to try this in court. See how this goes.
> You do realize that "that would constitute copyright infringement" was part of my original question - which you cited?
Yes. And the point still stands: The examples in the video are blatant. Every lawyer would sue one into oblivion given the chance. They are one-to-one copies.
In one example even the comments were replicated.
How one can argue that this is *not* a copyright violation is baffling.
> When there's only one way to do a task code that does that task isn't copyrightable.
That is irrelevant to the actual question at hand. Unless you want to claim that all the vibecoded snippets of code one copies are the only way for a program to achieve its tasks.
Also: As an European this entity in particular does not get the "fair use" defense in court.
