if I accidentally wrote exact same style of someone else code, could I be sued for that?
>>
>>107582934

Yes, and this is the built-in problem of "intellectual property". People can genuinely come up with the same idea independently on their own.

>>107582934
>style
No. That's not how copyright works.
>>
in python, yes
(they) made python for this
>>
>>107582949
not seeing the problem. if you failed to come up with it first, that's on you.
>>
You can be sued for anything. I could sue you for posting a frog.

>>107582934
this is exactly what SCO did when they tried to take over linux.

>>107582934
>accidentally
sure thing. better turn yourself in before they come for you
>>
>>107582934

what do you mean by word wrote
>>
>>107582934
If they could prove you copied it without a reasonable doubt then yes. Otherwise you'd probably be fine.
Unlikely they'd even ever try to press charges. Sueing over code is retarded and reserved mainly for B2B spats.
