Clean-room design is extremely specific. Anyone who has so much as glanced at Windows source code[1] (or even ReactOS code![2]) is permanently banned from contributing to WINE.

This is 100% unambiguously not clean-room unless they can somehow prove it was never trained on any C compiler code (which they can't, because it most certainly was).
