The fact that the code is available does not make it likely that you copied it! You can't just publish code and then claim any similar code *must* be yours because it's impossible for someone not to look at your code. People aren't convicted on "possibilities" they are convicted on proof.
Copyright infringement is a civil, not criminal, case, and so a decision is based on a "preponderance" of evidence rather than proof "beyond a reasonable doubt".
