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.

A while back I was thinking it wouldn't be enforced, but the entire Craft-clones and REA tools usage explosion kinda hints that disassembling/rebuilding the source is cheap enough that LLM's(ironically) could probably quickly find culprits if you had suspicions about certain apps.
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?
