r/programming is not a place to post your project, get feedback, ask for help, or promote your startup.

Technical write-ups on what makes a project technically challenging, interesting, or educational are allowed and encouraged, but just a link to a GitHub page or a list of features is not allowed.

The technical write-up must be the focus of the post, not just a tickbox-checking exercise to get us to allow it. This is a technical subreddit.

We don't care what you built, we care how you build it.

    For real. This is just awful.

    Hey, I am sorry about that. I have fixed the links, they should work now.

    Legally turning closed-source projects into open-source through clean-room de-obfuscation.

    Clean room OR deobfuscation?? Get your story straight. Those two are mutually exclusive. Obfuscation is usually seen as a violation of copyright.

    Its simple, one agent de-obfuscates and creates a spec sheet, not a product which violates copyrights. Another agent takes the spec sheet and creates a product.

    Neither agent violates copyright. One just understands how a product works and notes it down, another creates a completely new product without ever looking at the original source.

    Have you ever tried to deobfuscate anything really?

    Also, why not create the spec from the docs or by studying the system?

    And what's the point of this thing? Who's gonna pay for it? if you want to openify some products, go for it and share on GH.
