If the copyrighted code, against which your pushes would be compared, are by definition closed source, how could these filters work ? Or will software companies reach an agreement with repo providers like github so the filter robot can parse their closed source code ? Kind of a politics BS just destined to keep the discussion boiling for a few months.

What if copyrighted source code contains a method copy-pasted from stackoverflow?
It's MIT licensed by default. The StackOverflow code, that is.
Are we taking bets on whether proprietary code includes all the relevant attribution?
what about for(var i=0...) ???
