Malus, which is a piece of "satire" but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell, redistribute, etc. the software without crediting the original developers. But I have a hard time with the "clean room" argument since the LLM doing the behind-the-scenes work has already ingested the entire corpus of open source software -- and somehow the output of the LLMs isn't considered a derivative work.

..... Dude will this actually work??

Like say I throw in Sony PlayStation's proprietary code for pkg installations on ps5 or something similar, I could just feed that into this and it would spit out a functioning open sourced alternative??

Man the applications for piracy are insane. Lets fight fire with fire.
