I may be misinformed but my understanding of copyright is that it protects the 'expression' of something (like an algorithm or recipe) so someone can rewrite a copyrighted chunk of code into another language and be free of the original copyright, while also able to assert their own copyright on their new expression.

If that is true then one way to get around copyright restrictions on existing code is to create a new language.

fascinating idea, copilot could do the translations internally and also work torwards widening the pool of suggestions to all languages instead of the individual lamguage a user is using (bit then again, they might be writing in the "new" language already
