Be careful of this reasoning.  It was tried in court and did not pass.

The copyright law says that any derived work is the property of the
owner of the copyright.  If 0.01% of the code is original, you still
may not freely distribute.  The act of deriving the work, as well as
the test of contents, is involved.
