It wasn't a straight port, he had an LLM write a spec by reviewing the code, and then in another session another LLM did the development. That is basically a Clean-room approach. It would be unlikely there would be much - if any - code that is exactly the same so showing copyright infringement seems very unlikely.
I'd call it clean room if the AI wasn't trained on the open source drivers in the first place. The open source driver is in there, albeit in the form of lossy text compression with an external dictionary.
Now one side is collecting the necessary tokens to get the AI to output data from the training set in the second run.
