From a copyright standpoint, distributing reverse-engineered code made by decompiling existing software is almost certainly illegal. If a person wanted to create an FOSS clone of some software, they would have to follow the ‘clean room’ process, and even that doesn’t save you from violating patents. Adobe and the other victims here have legal grounds to remove these projecs from the internet under dmca. Although AI companies seem to be able to ignore most laws these days.
If someone out there is actually looking for alternatives to corporate slopware, I would urge them to join the FOSS community where we build these things ourselves, rather than succumbing to the vibe sickness.
