Here's a big question: If I write a script file and put it under GPL and
you convert it to pure C++ code, does that C-code fall under GPL. My
guess is yes, since you are in effect duplicating the algorithm which I
developed. Well, maybe....it deserves a little more thought.
Even if it is not murky legally, it definitely is morally---and I think that
it would be copyrighted in the legal sense too; the closest analogy that comes
to
mind is a translation of a literary work. Note that in a translation there
is at least a human element, and here we are talking about an automatic process.
