Have two agents talk to each other, one who can see the original and one who can't, and you can launder any GPL'd code you like
MarkV@stroughtonsmith Would this work legally if you set up two human agents that way? Not a full clean room, more an obfuscation layer in the middle?
@markv that's how it works, yeah. One person can see the original, but can only describe it to the second person. The second person, who has never seen the original, does a clean-room implementation based on the description. This is how the original IBM PC BIOS was cloned, I think?
