It has changed from a clear concious decision to copy content, to an
impossible to diagnose side effect of using the tools.

for the small subset of untrustworthy developers who deliberately ignore
their obligations, while the latter problem can unwittingly affect any
developer who uses the tools no matter how diligen tthey are.
