Being able to rewrite existing working code sufficient to copyright-launder it isn't the same as being able to write it from scratch, unfortunately, especially since LLMs seem to be allowed to ignore quite a bit of copyright law with complete impunity.

Imo it's totally plausible that something will be expensive & time consuming to create, even with LLMs, but still easy to fork outside current licensing restrictions with LLMs.

Rewriting it with a guarantee of not introducing any errors is still beyond current LLM capabilities, and there might be a certain correlation between that capability and the capability of writing it from scratch.
