Or maybe that academia is realizing that copyright is effectively uselss
for protecting anything more than the literal source code, and that all
other aspects of software (functionality, structure, process, method)
are explicitly prohibited from copyright and better suited to be treated
under the patent system, much like its equivalent, hardware.

You see conspiracies in too many places.  Better to rely more on logic.
