What if the code is 99% FOSS code, but with variable names changed say? I'm curious because for humans I think that would still count as copyright infringement, but Github seems to only filter out 100% code matches. I suppose copyright law is not precise enough that you could algorithmically decide of two pieces of code are too close? The only way to be sure seems to be "clean room design", where the AI hasn't seen the FOSS code in the first place?
