It has changed from a clear concious decision to copy content, to an impossible to diagnose side effect of using the tools. IMHO that is materially different, because the former is only a problem for the small subset of untrustworthy developers who deliberately ignore their obligations, while the latter problem can unwittingly affect any developer who uses the tools no matter how diligen tthey are.
