DOS ain't dead - diffs to non-free source code, copyright infringement?

diffs to non-free source code, copyright infringement? (Developers)

posted by ecm , Düsseldorf, Germany, 03.04.2011, 01:30

I don't think that other diffs are not copyright infringement if context diffs are. Doesn't every diff format contain some of the original information? (Haven't looked at them and compared them very well now though.) And even if there was one that didn't, wouldn't merely new (added) source code contain enough implied information to be an infringement? Depending on the usage of the program's internal interfaces and such.
