> YE: We hear. There is an answer above related to url-rewriter-bot that is also relevant here. We will try to remove the new license generation from bot-related activity. If y'all see more, please add them as comments here.

Would have posted this as a comment, but I guess it warrants a full answer. IANAL, etc, disclaimer, disclaimer, but: to the best of my understanding, at least under United States copyright law, a "purely mechanical" modification of something (which pretty much by definition includes anything bot-driven, for example) does not create a new copyrightable work.

If I'm wrong about this, it is most likely a confusion with the "sweat of the brow" ruling from [Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service][1], but it definitely seems like territory that warrants a consultation with the legal department if that hasn't already been addressed. If it has, great, but from several of the responses here it doesn't seem like the logic / opinion covering this is well publicized to the community?
