there are event exact measurements to take into account, for visual art, music etc. 'what is legally not stealing'.
Art, however, is a little different than code. code is a thing, but it also produces things.
It weirds me out there is a measure of code similarity but not a measure of if code is semantically the same. for example implementing a protocol could be done in many ways, but ultimately whats talked between clients/servers on the network is the same. so it's semantically the same despite being totally different code.
