Sure, if we are not talking Python... Line breaks are an arbitrary
division having little to do with significant creative height where
copyright sets in. The usual rule of thumb is something like "10
lines", but of course, it is a rule of thumb. There can be a single
line that counts, and hundreds of lines that don't.

And now you are babbling again.
Well, the "rule of thumb" is your term.
As the copyright assignment policy is built upon that "rule of thumb",
what's the conclusion?

My bet is that your grasp of copyright is not sufficient
see above
Better you should make up your mind and ask where the "rule of thumb"
--10 lines-- is founded.
Why not eleven lines, why not nine?
Don't think it's per chance the 10 has been grasp, but it's not
rationally either.
That's lawyers woodoo, designed to fool people.
meaningful discussion, let alone the patronizing coattailing you do
to
threads and mailing lists with different topics.
