What is to prevent someone from cloning this code, and jumping into claude code and saying: "implement an identical system in Elixir?"
LLMs are great at translation from X programming language to Y programming language.
The Google/Oracle Android/Java lawsuit boiled down to whether Google engineers copied source code, or whether they re-implemented things in a clean room without using prior code, right?
Isn't using an LLM to rebuild something a great loophole for this elastic search license?
I see this being a losing battle because the license is only as strong as your ability to enforce it. Bear is probably in a good position because of their network position, but this seems like a losing battle long term.
