translations are explicitly reusing the exact literal content, and theres explicitly carve outs in modern law around translated works math and food recipes are explicitly not protected by copyright law. i hope that helps clarify? On Tue, Sep 1, 2026 at 1:41 PM <code@jaro.addy.io> wrote:
building dimilar code for a similar task in a different language is definitely not infringing unless its also copying all the text from the source application like some sort of text rpg. What if we compare this to literature? Surely a translation of a book into another language is still considered a derivative work, even if it reuses none of the “literal text”.
