Claude Code source code cloning--->leaked!

[WorldEX]

Two days have passed. The Claude Code source code cloning project not only survives but has also become the fastest project to reach 100,000 stars in history.

It's terrifying. The speed of gaining stars is even more astonishing than that of OpenClaw before. It's so popular that even the author's mother came out to urge him to apply for the Guinness World Record.

The legal question nobody has an answer to yet: does a codegen clean-room rebuild violate copyright?

Traditionally: “A clean room build in software engineering is a methodology used to re-implement existing software or reverse-engineer a system without infringing on copyright. It involves two separate teams: one analyzes the original software to create specifications, while a second "clean" team creates the new product based only on those specifications, ensuring no proprietary code is copied.”

This takes months and costs real money. It used to be a meaningful barrier. Now anyone with a Claude Max plan can point an agent at a codebase’s tests and have the logic rebuilt overnight. The practice has never been challenged in court.
