> difficulty of generalizing chamfers/fillets. There's a reason that basically all FOSS CAD packages have struggled with it.

Could you decompile CAD, run it through an LLM, and call it a day?

Aren't there licesing issues with porting a proprietary implementation into an open-source one that could open up the project to legal issues with the proprietary vendor?

The Plasticity guy seems to be threading that needle.

That might seem to be the case, right up until he gets taken to court over it.

Never presume that a thing is legal (or will not later be punished) on the basis that someone is already doing it.

You can't stop it. This is just progress.

All software that isn't delivered over client/server to thin clients is now subject to being trivially cloned.

That was never in question, even before AI. It just took more monkeys at typewriters.
