The GPL isn't strict enough now that everyone has a copyright laundering machine at their disposal.
I've been experimenting with adding a "translation" clause in accordance with the GPL paragraph 7, where if by means of automatically translating the project to a different language (by transpiling or machine learning) the license is retained, but not necessarily the copyright.
So far I'm not happy with the results by Claude and ChatGPT. Probably I should talk to a lawyer.
The GPLv3 was largely invented to prevent tivoization, we need GPLv4 now to prevent copyright laundering.
