Yeah, I was going to say that too: a rewrite in another language is a
completely new piece of software and I've see things like that being licensed
under a different license dozens of times. Hell, full rewrites in the same
language are often licensed differently with no problems. A full rewrite is
just that — a different implementation, especially if it's in a different
language as well.
