Quoting from [1]:
4.1 Non-trivial originality (Durham)
In Durham Industries, Inc. v. Tomy Corp.,21 the Second Circuit
Court of Appeals stated that copyright’s applicability to
derivative works is subject to the limitation that “the
original aspects of a derivative work must be more than
trivial.”
...
However, the Alfred Bell court considered non-trivial
variation to be a requirement of the originality standard, and
merely a restatement of the principle that, to be original, a
work must be “recognizably [the author’s] own.”
...
4.2 Substantial difference (Gracen)

people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
