Neither do I, and I regret having written "certainly". There is no
certainty unless a court has decided one's case. The uncertainty is
the only thing which can be assumed.

Claiming a "eager" copyright is invoking UB on Rich's/project's behalf,

This may be harmless now and may even always and everywhere remain
harmless (I really hope so!) but _possibly_ not.
