    You can’t verify that with humans either. Someone who has seen licensed code, whether proprietary or GPL, will accidentally reproduce snippets of it to accomplish similar tasks in the future.

      The problem isnt the fact snippets exist in a codebase. The problem is, the entire fucking website is scraped clean of every codebase that has ever existed without paying a dime to their owner, notifying of their usage, and being transparent of their datasets.

      How can it be verifiably responsible if their activity is handwaved under the guise of “business secret”? Its literally people using other peoples work without fair compensation, which means stealing, which means someone has to pay.
