The world Copy in Blender is usually related to transferring data from one object to another (see the Copy Vertex Group to Selected operator). On the other hand the word Duplicate is usually related to creating new data based on the selected data.

An example of this can be seen in the Constraints menu where Duplicate and Copy are used correctly:

Current name: Copy Vertex Group

New name: Duplicate Vertex Group

@zanqdo Thanks for your point.
So it would be better to also rename the operators and functions.

I don't do changes that break the Python API

Yes, that's correct.

"Duplicate" is unambiguous that you will get a new thing, while with "copy" you need to also specify where you are copying to. So "Copy to clipboard" or "copy to other object", etc.

And you are correct in that we don't want to also rename the operator as that breaks the API for not enough benefit.

I personally wouldn't make this change for 3.6 - I'm already seeing videos created about the 3.6 - so I would only do so in main for 4.0. Other people might have a different opinion on this though. So if you feel strongly about this just say so.

@Harley I'm ok with 4.0. The decision about renaming the operator is all yours!
