These kinds of discussions always leaves me wondering if people consider how actual humans learn their craft, constantly studying and mimicking others. Inspiration is to use existing experiences however mixed together, while originality comes from an input or an experience that others have yet to use.
"Write a sad song about the MIT license" is certainly such new input, and if I was commissioned to write the song it would be based on inspiration (i.e., "use training on") music I have heard or studied. And yes, none of the musicians I have listened to or have studied will benefit from the endless money fountain I'd acquire from composing such song.
