Copied code?

Most of those lines look like:

- Native hooks you use in almost every JavaScript app which listens to the DOM

- People programming to a common coding standard

I thought this approach was the way people are encourage to write code? Would they have been happier if the definitions were meaningless to humans like we used to get? temp1, temp2, temp11...

I just did a quick google search for setbouncecookie and came across a GitHub project for exactly what BOTH of these projects do, is the author "carlsednaoui/ouibounce" going to sue both?

I have a feeling this case will go on for too long as law simply doesn't understand code...Winter is coming...
