This is exactly why people/companies employ `cleen room designs' so
that there will be no copyright/patent/whatever infrigment. That is,
someone uses the work, then writes a review about it, a lawyer
examines it to make it sure it doesn't contain any bits from the
original work, and then this review is passed to a third-party (a
party that has no connection to the ones who wrote the review) to
implement it. A classic example is the IBM BIOS.
