Offhand, I can not cite either the relevant case law, or relevant
statute law.

In the united states, "sweat of the brow" does not suffice, when
obtaining copyright. In the EEC, "sweat of the brow" does suffice, when
obtaining copyright.

In the united states, copyright requires a "creative action". Running a
script does not qualify as a "creative action".

Where these two collide, is that running
add_strong_numbers_to_unknown_language.py is not considered to be
"creative action" in the united states.  It also fails to gain copyright
protection, because it is merely "sweat of the brow", in the united
states. However, in Europe, it is copyrightable, under "sweat of the
brow" criteria.

#####

add_strong_numbers_to_unknown_language.py  is a python script that reads
in a text file in VPL format, and eventually spits out a text file in
VPL format, that has both Greek and Hebrew Strong Numbers attached to
most words (OT, NT, A) in the text file. Whilst the number/word
combination is not always accurate, it is "good enough" as a first draft.
