If this started with BusyBox translated from C to Rust, is this code also under the GPL, as is BusyBox?

I don't see any LICENSE or COPYING files in the repo.

Seems like it would have to be the same license as BusyBox, since it is a "compiled" artifact of BusyBox (just compiled to another high level language).
Yes, it is a derived work, automatic translation (or even any kind of translation) does not create a new work.
