      You don’t need to rewrite it though. Just keep it closed source and import / copy paste whatever you want into your repo.

        It’s may be possible to tell if there is GPL code included whether or not the source is reveal. A simple example is that some plain-text strings are visible in compiled binaries. In this way, poking around with a hexeditor may reveal strings which indicate part of the code is GPL.

          Hmmm. Thankfully I only develop small services and haven’t done any big monolith that people wanna audit. When I get to that point I’ll prolly get sued and then try to figure out what to do while profusely apologizing and denying at the same time.
