I am not sure you understand exactly what cleanroom implementation
means. 

Please read:

Regarding DotGNU, I would suggest that you ask yourself `does our
current code match the criteria in that mail?' and then ask yourself
`Do we have a written record of our code being a clean room
implementation?' and then ask yourself `Have we talked to our lawyers
to understand the problem?'.
