hate to be a party pooper, but this is (IMHO) clearly work you can avoid doing, because whatever result you may come to won't make any line of code more of a clean-room implementation than it currently is - because in all cases during the development of that code intellectual property of Cendio AB was present and available; giving (at least) the slimest chance of lawyers, judges and jury _somewhere_ deciding that Cendio holds rights, and can demand compensation. this is not gonna change easily. so: - accept staying with GPL (a viral Free Software license) (disliked) - reimplement most, if not all of it "clean room" (well .. no.) - get Cendio to (re-, sub-, dual-)license the code (tried, not happening) .. but maybe ... - ask Cendio to sign a binding letter (i.e. binding current and future management) to not press charges based on any IP residue so long as any and all current and future code stays under a OSI compliant Open Source license .. may be worth trying?
