Dan Blanchard, maintainer of Python's "chardet" library, used Claude to rewrite the entire project's codebase so that he can switch the license from LGPL to MIT.

https://github.com/chardet/chardet/pull/322

I highly doubt that this is legal, but who the fuck cares these days anyway, right?

If I was a contributor to that project, I'd tell him in no vague words what I think about shit like that. "No bro, it's totally not relicensing your code bro, this is totally new code bro!"

Apparently chardet got Claude to rewrite the entire codebase from LGPL to MIT? https://github.com/chardet/chardet/releases/tag/7.0.0 That is one way to launder GPL code I guess?
