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.
