I mean, the issue is that you're not going to find the specifications for the PHY stuff anywhere. There's no model numbers to clone. It's literally things like how do you etch out capacitors in the fab's process? What's the electrical properties of their different dopants? There's not really any models to clone without cloning the whole fab.
Our best option IMO is to wait until Moore's law hits more of a standstill, when fabs become more of a commodity and they're less secretive about the underlying process rules.
