> Not for a dozen lines here or there, even if it could be found and identified in a massive code base. That’s like quoting a paragraph of a book in another book, non infringing.

It's potentially non-infringing in a book if you quote it in a plausible way, and properly.

If you copy&paste a paragraph from another book into yours, it's infringing, and a career-ending scandal. There's plenty of precedent on that.

Just like if you manually copied a function out of some GPL code and pasted it into your own.

Or if you had an LLM do it for you.
