"AI" LLM-based licensewashing of LGPL code ... by the project maintainer.

What the hell is wrong with these folks? Token go in, brain fall out.

Getting a program to "rewrite" your code doesn't nullify the copyright ownership or license terms of everything that went before it. You need a clean-room reimplementation from a bare spec for that, and LLMs *by definition* can't do that.
