No, GPL still holds even if you transform the source code from one language to another language.

That why I carved it out to just the specs. If they can be read as "facts", then the new code is not derived but arrived at with TTD.

The thesis I propose is that tests are more akin to facts, or can be stated as facts, and facts are not copyright-able. That's what makes this case interesting.
