That is an interesting point.
Moreover, I am wondering, just for cases like these, if a company could make their output copy-writable on purpose. They could insert code or content in the output just to be able to claim copyright on the output not because they need to.
Think of a nightmare scenario if say Java compiled code would not include just bytecode but bits of JVM meshed together with the bytecode. Then Oracle could come after everyone compiling and selling java programs.

- rdtsc 10y agoI was talking in general about making output of programs a copywrite of programs' owners. That is what they tried to claim ultimately here in a desperate attempt.
