If I use, 'tr' to replace all characters in a source file; or if I replace every token with something else; so that the structure and integrity stays the same, but it becomes an entirely new product, can I copyright the new product and build my own tokenizer that parses it and runs the program in the same way.
e.g.
{ if(i==0){ print(i); } }
becomes:
swiss nuggets /ale++wash\ swiss
twister/ale\tousle ssiws ssiws
Can I copyright the latter text?
Or take this for thought, what if Windows 11 iso was the binary representation of a number, which it is; does that mean a mathematician can't publish that number in decimal base in a textbook?
