It sounds like for you in particular, yes, since you seem to want to go out of your way to find any way to violate copyright, even when the terms are intentionally generous. Indeed such a person should not work in this industry, though I'm sure there are plenty of employers who are happy to have you steal for them, so you will be able to regardless.

My point was that we all do this /not on purpose/ (and for me being an exception, can make sure I don’t personally). But when I see code that existed in another company with some variables changed, I don’t flag it. There are only so many ways to describe a chair, are they all copyrighted?

"My point was that we all do this /not on purpose/"

I don't concede the equivalence.
