  • Copyright law only has teeth when it’s owned by corporations, but the cleanroom reimplementing technique does still seem to create a derivative product which in this layman’s opinion would still violate licenses like the GPL, but IANAL.

    In particular any open source software where it’s authors are making a living from donations or public support.

    The “good” news is this is pretty rare these days.

    Honestly the best defense is probably just writing maintainable software though, AI slop is going to be hard to maintain.
