Do you think that having read codes makes you inevitably fall under the same license as said code??
That learning to play an instrument or composing music makes all your own works be only "derivaties"???
Because that's essentially the consequence of that logic...
#Copyleft is the same logic as #CollectingAgencies, in that a #remix will inevitably follow the same license.

Jist like small #artists don't benefit from #CollectingAgencies demanding royalties, but big record labels do.

Not gonna defend #Twitter, but the #Copyrightmafia only cares about #rentseeking via #CollectingAgencies...
