Like I said, if I write some GPL software, I don’t think Microsoft should be able to disrespect my license just because they’re also disrespecting everyone else’s license too through automation at scale.

    Edit: forgot to mention, since their product is wholly dependent on the other works, that’s the very definition of a derivative work. While you could argue it’s transformative, it certainly fails the other tests for fair use.
