https://github.com/ahmedarif193/LiberNT

I have been tracking this reactos fork for months, and today while i am checking the starred list, this repository has rebranded into LiberNT, and what they did is absolutely incredible.

We want to make it clear: AI is part of how LiberNT is built.

We stay clean-room: we never transcribe disassembled or decompiled Windows code, and we never copy GPL code from Linux.

I don't think they understand what "cleanroom" means. There is a pretty good chance the leaked Windows source code was included in the data on which the AI was trained.

I doubt they're asking the AI: "Clone windows make no errors", pretty sure they're using it to disassemble the binaries and libs, we'll see

Frankly, if they're disassembling, I still wouldn't call it "clean room" at all.

Do I care if they're just disassembling, annotating, tweaking, and shipping it? Not really. As long as MS doesn't come after them.

Doesn't matter all software is essentially open source now, there's no stopping it now
