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/"
