That's of limited use, because here algorithm is a subset of a library

But a painting of Yoda is a different Depiction of the same character. There are no subsets. It's the general image and idea of the character that is Disney's property.

Yes there is of course a subset.

There is no 100% painting of Yoda, with exception of perfectly copying an existing work.

You can a take a photo of Yoda at Disneyland. Disney still cant take your photo and slap it on t-shirts to sell without your permission. (It doesnt mean you can either)
