1-byte docs commit? Not without a CLA

Imagine how awkward it would be if Google owned the copyright on all the documentation except that byte. I don't blame them at all.

And of course, even if you delete the byte you still have a derived work.

If you can copyright a single byte, I'm going to copyright the null byte. Literally every C program in the world will need licensing from me.

You need to copyright a specific null byte. It only counts as infringement if someone copies it from you.
