 That's a very special case, and I can't think of any comparison in the
art field.  At worse, you could always consider Pov code as

 If someone commercially uses 100% of your code, you'll be upset.
 If someone commercially uses 1% of your code, you'll probably don't

 Where's the limit ?  Where between "learning from existing code and
reusing
