Have you looked at the code? I sure wouldn’t produce exactly that. Even for identical functionality, its FreeDroidWarn.java methods are 30 lines, I’d write it in 13 lines. I also wouldn’t write exactly the same strings (some stylistic changes, some being specific rather than generic as is somewhat necessary for a library), and definitely couldn’t produce 17 other translations.

This easily meets thresholds for creative work. The basic concept is nigh-trivial, but the concrete implementation is still creative.
