Ask HN: If LLM reverse engineering is deemed illegal, is that precedent for OSS?

Hacker News - Sat, 11/07/2026 - 7:37pm

With the efforts to clamp down on LLM-assisted reverse engineering - I am wondering;

If LLM assisted reverse engineering is deemed illegal by the courts, is that precedent for a class action that asserts OSS licenses are violated by labs that trained LLMs on that code?

There are two modalities for this;

1) LLM being post-trained against a decompiled binary - then used to output working source code.

2) LLM being used to analyze decompiled binary and used to output working source code.

How can it be "clean room" when an LLM is trained on or reads OSS but not clean room when the same is done for decompiled software?

Why not give customers a binary they can run on their own Mac?

Please only if you're excited by it; it could be even because you're learning.

Fire away!
