Yes, written verbiage is subject to copyright. UI is also subject to copyright. The degree of similarity is astounding - this is not an edge case at all.
The lack of understanding of copyright on HN does astound me, however.
This isn't a case of convergent design (OpenOffice vs. Microsoft Word), this is identical word-for-word with a simple s/room/dataroom:
> When enabled, folders uploaded to Rooms will be mirrored into 'All Documents' with the same structure.
When disabled, all documents will be placed in a single folder named after the Room in 'All Documents!
> This action cannot be undone.
- All documents and folders will be permanently removed
- All links and viewer access will be revoked
- All analytics, audit logs, and Q&A data will be lost
- Group permissions and branding will be deleted
