Isn’t “rewrite the example code in your own style” accepted best practice for human coders, when working from an example that does what you need?

I’m not sure what would be acceptable output for a code generation tool if rewriting the examples isn’t ok and reimplementing something that performs the same function still isn’t ok. Are we automatically granting de-facto code patents on all published code now?

Mitigating copyright issues by “rewriting in your own style” arguably only applies to humans doing the rewriting as a creative task, because copyright only applies to human creative works.
