I think the whitewashing of code through LLMs is still unproven if it actually works for a reasonably complex project and also it’s still kind of legal Wild West - I think no one knows for sure how it will work out.


There are piles of examples of it working for complex projects and libraries now especially if they have good test suites your clone can pass.

Also they are even getting quite good at reverse engineering binaries.

Anything not released as FOSS, will have a FOSS copy made.

There is no moat and the reign of restrictive licenses on software is effectively over.


Can you share any of these examples? I haven’t been able to find any…
