That's exactly what they did here, I don't see the difference.

This is the difference. This guy took an existing source base, had Claude find specific bugs, then had Claude fix a specific bug which was then reviewed by a person. We also don't know if these changes introduce new problems yet. You are suggesting letting Claude write an entirely new source base. That's light-years away from what happened here.

They did it on permissively licensed code would be the difference.
