  If it helps you parse my reply, consider that fair use explicitly intends to allow unpredictable derivatives that might otherwise be rejected by the copyright owner of a work, and so most of my reply anchors directly to this final paragraph of yours: > People never anticipated that github would strip their licenses from files and present their source code inside of VSCode for people to use freely. I can’t offer you a more detailed mapping of my reply onto exclusively your talking points, as I didn’t consider that a viable constraint. My original point at top of thread remains clear on my mind as I try to provide - using the examples of my own questions and concerns, after objections in the past that I wasn’t! - of what better, more reasoned, more curious, more worthwhile conversation looks like on this topic. I do accept that not everyone desires to see the change in tone I’m trying to represent here, and no doubt I have been imperfect in my efforts to represent it. I’m sad that this isn’t connecting for you, even though I accept each time I try this that understanding and agreement are never universal. Thank you for your effort in trying to understand all the same.
