- ivanbakel 5y agoThere are techniques for reproducing copyrighted code in a legal way. The simplest one would be to simply remove all the copyrighted content (assuming it came from minor contributors) and clean-room a replacement.

- cardiffspaceman 5y agoThe clean room method breaks the provenance. This is not just writing stuff from scratch like all of us have done at one time or another with our own code.
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoMaybe they can use GitHub's Copilot to "rewrite" the code :)
