There are reverse engineering/interoperability exemptions to the DMCA so it may not be that simple.

So would be curious if they have already sought legal advice which says they are in the clear.

If they actually just took a binary from OSX and stuck it into their app it probably wasn't the best lawyer

Sam Bankman-Fried raised $1.8B, yet we know how that ended even with lawyers available, so... We'll see.
