At the time of posting, the extension actually allows you to export either jsx (which you can directly place in a react file) or html. That detail just isn't shown in the video, which shows an earlier version of the feature. Will update video.

Some logic to rename variables and perhaps wrap on-screen text with an instruction to rephrase, coupled with watermarking images so they have to be replaced, might effectively render copyright objections void/unenforceable ... it's not like you can copyright the general techniques. This would make it a far more viable commercial tool.

If this could be combined with tooling to facilitate the use of generated code to more easily produce React Native compliant versions, giving you a quicker path to iOS and Android equivalents, you would be halfway to auto-generating what 90% of non-technical people want when they say "just build me something like X site/app".

Rephrasing and renaming won't get you around copyrights.

In literature no, but in code, where once you take those parts out what's left is often industry standards on function structure, used so often that you would struggle to identify which example your copy is based on (a good defense in itself) ... there you should be ok.

It's really just a specialized Copilot at that point.
