If you hire a programmer that has worked on said closed source and ask them to recreate that code in your GPL licensed program - at what point will that be considered infring on the original? Can you relicense code of you feed it through a programmer?
- anonunivgrad 5y agoThat would be strong evidence in court of copyright infringement and possibly trade secret theft.
