No, the question is, if the GPL'ed code/structure is more or less recovered during inference, would a court rule the result to be covered by the GPL?
I know there was some cases in the past where people swapped licences and changed variablenames,etc but the essential code clearly remained.
Yeah for sure. But then the question becomes weird: If its binary equal (like asm) but nothing else, will it hold up?
Im quite aware of software patents, i never had to use some software patent scanner in our compliance CI/CD.
So it might be a real issue no one can or does enforce?
