Get better lawyers. Clean-room implementation has been around for ages, I've done it professionally myself, both from source code and disassembly. Also not every company has clueless lawyers, nor does a clean-room re-implementation of this format need to come from a company, I'd say it's more likely not. Seriously this sounds more like GPLv3 scaremongering than anything else, I've never seen anything like this in my professional life as a developer. edit: as for my personal preference, I think GPL is a great license for full application/solution style software, but for libraries/frameworks, I prefer permissive licensing.
