If you examined the source code of a library for a specific purpose Y, then shortly afterwards went implementing another library for purpose Y, there's a high probability of your code being infringing. That's the entire premise and purpose of clean room design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design).
Now factor in that machine models don't have a fallible or degrading memory and I think the answer is quite clear.
I as a programmer touched X during training (learning how to code). Is all my work now derivative because of that?
