@RueNahcMohr@infosec.exchange @cwebber@social.coop @bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @ossguy@fedi.copyleft.org @richardfontana@mastodon.social I think the argument in that case would be similar to case law where textbooks can get a ‘new’ copyright even when they are just explaining facts that previous textbooks covered. There are also cases where decompiler/disassembler people were sued because they turned object code back into source code. (those suits didn’t succeed, it was part of the motivation for the DMCA clause on ‘decompiling’)
