You're wrong because software, as you describe it, includes the "cp" command which creates a perfect copy.


As sibling noted, we’re talking about the impact of a software’s license on use of its output.

I suppose your point would stand if the software were a quine?


The copyright license of the cp code itself has no bearing on the copyright of what you produce (well, copy) with cp.


That's not the point they're making. They're replying to their parent comment.
