> Humans are allowed to be inspired by other humans, software used by other humans is not.

Why?



Because humans are beings capable of inspiration and software is a tool that can only transfer and transform data, and that data is subject to existing copyright laws, because we recognize the difference between ourselves and the tools we use.

And (more importantly) because the intent behind this violation is anti-human, creating a system that debases human creative endeavor, leeches off of talent and puts humans out of work for the sake of banal facsimile.
