No, it won't do. It will be still "work based on". You should do it
clean-room. It means, if you saw the code, you are already in trobule -
you are contaminated. IANAL, but this is how GPL wording seems to me. At
least, it's risky, even if a good (in lawyer's meaning of the word) lawyer
could try and get one out of it.
