As stated in this page, only lines of code significant copyright-wise count. Commenting a line of code, changing indentation (e.g., when you wrap a `let') do not count. You cannot copyright an indentation change. Nor a symbol renaming (this example is even given in the page above). Also, applying the same change multiple times may count /at most/ once. So, I stand on my ground: there is a "non-trivial" part to take into consideration when counting locs. I would go even further: when you transform a string regexp into a rx regexp, there is no line to count, because there is no new idea to copyright in the first place. This is a trivial change. Anyway, I think arguing here is just wasting our time. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
