An example for legal reference might be convolution reverb. Basically it's a way to record what a fancy reverb machines does (using copyrighted complex math algorithms) and cheaply recreate the reverb on my computer. It seems like companies can do this as long as they distribute protected reverbs separately from the commercial application. So Liquidsonics (https://www.liquidsonics.com/software/) sells reverb software but puts for free download the 'protected' convolution reverbs specifically the Bricasti ones in dispute (https://www.liquidsonics.com/fusion-ir/reverberate-3/)
Also, while a SQL server can be copyright protected, a SQL database is not given copyright protection/ownership to the SQL server software creators by extension of that.
