What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI tried finding the pr they referenced, but wasn't able to in a minute of looking, but I did find https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console/pull/1403 which is a null fix.

I think it's an entirely valid argument given the variables names are defined by the original code and the style is defined by a style guide, the only addition here is a intrinsic utilitarian function without any artistic expression.
That said, I am not a lawyer, so who knows how it would actually play out in court if it went that far.
