Anything that may help develop better adblockers/paywall bypasses or exposes how/what of our personal information is collected is a win in my book. And this may very well be none of those things.

Right, because fuck paying for proper journalism. Everything must be free!
Remind me again, how does that work?
I pay for the NYT, and yet every other screen is a fucking ad (often the same ad repeated over and over). You already have my subscription money, and unless they decide not to be so greedy (haha), their ads get shoved up my pihole.
The inverse of this is where subscription services that previously had no ads for paying subscribers then add in ads on paid plans while also increasing the fees associated. It’s a pretty standard practice, NYT included. Adblocking is necessary.
Just seeing how something is approached helps.
I sometimes rebuild software from one language to another for practice.
Very few care about licenses unless the use of such material can be proven, and good luck with that
