Interesting. Looks like he has made a "clean room" clone of TA by pointing AI at it, getting it to reverse engineer it and write some docs, and then have another AI write an implementation based on those docs.
I would be surprised if that stood up in court but I doubt anyone cares for TA at this point anyway.
As long as everything was recreated, and not one bit of the original is used, you could win with the right lawyer (I think, IANAL)
Yeah I'd be surprised. Law has a certain amount of common sense and if there's a new technique that just lets you easily clone any software they aren't going to say "aha good loophole you win".
Plus I think clean room process needs two separate teams and this is just one guy.
I did find this post from actual lawyers about it, but basically it's a grey area that hasn't been decided yet.
