I've drawn my inspiration from this project while creating WireText, a VSCode plugin for quickly creating mockups with a hand-drawn style, https://gitlab.com/saxion.nl/42/wiretext-code/-/blob/main/RE...
UI elements with a hand-drawn, sketchy look

Re: UI elements with a hand-drawn, sketchy look
#112This is UI theory gone wrong. The idea that users will give feedback more freely when something looks unfinished is at best a non-validated theory. This used to work with actual paper prototypes. But going the extra length to make UI designs look hand-drawn, when the users know full well they are computer generated is just busy work. Showing the users what the actual design might look like works better and it actuall…

#116I'm using this for the AI annotations at https://pagewatch.ai/ Its strange how much different it makes the whole page feel from regular boxes, much more of a tangible/informal feeling. Felt perfect to go with the type of feedback LLM's give.

I tried signing up and scanning apkmirror.com but it immediately came up with a 403. Perhaps your user agent is blocked, you should probably use a custom user agent.

You absolutely can do that. And yes, it does release you from licensing obligations (unless the license included specific clauses).
You should consult a lawyer. It's one thing if it's a clean-room implementation but every IP attorney I have ever interacted with would disagree with you. It doesn't take much for a court to consider something a derivative work.
Of course, there's a gray zone: what about a reimplementation in the same language, but with different variable names? Those cases are why we have courts.
But ... if you figure out how to solve Rathbone's conjecture[0] and reveal the source code for it in C++, my reimplementation of that in Rust or Lua does not constitute a derivative work.
One exception would be if you managed to patent some feature of the algorithm (RSA comes to mind, or frequency-based colors for drawing waveforms). That's a different story.
[0] invented :)

You cannot copyright algorithms. Ergo, the expression of an algorithm in one language is not a copyright violation of an expression of the same algorithm in a different language.

Your advice is dangerous. Consult an attorney.
