I would 100% support this as long as the same is true for human works. Every artist is trained on thousands of years of art tradition. Copyright wasn’t a thing for the first many millennia of artistic creation, and we still got Bach and Michelangelo.

> Michelangelo

Did you know that Michelangelo was the first "label" for inventions and art? He sourced his material from other people and published it for them.

So it's kinda ironic (maybe on purpose?) that you mentioned him.

and it is.

Anyone can study Michelangelo or Bach, and learn their style.
