It seems like Replit's complaint probably doesn't have much merit, but at the same time Radon's defense that "this is just a non-commercial hobby project" doesn't really matter either (except to the extent that Replit might be able to get a bigger judgement if they prevail in court if they can show economic harm). He's either infringing on Replit's intellectual property or he isn't. As far as I know there isn't a special legal loophole for "I did this just for fun".

(I'm not a lawyer, so don't interpret this as anything other than a possibly poorly-informed opinion.)
