Restriction? By whom for whom? I think there ought to be no restrictions, just a desire to do interesting work. Any restrictions that get in the way should be discarded.
Including copying nets?
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

If you have an interesting search innovation, sure. In fact, testing multiple different engines all with the same net is very interesting. It might even form the basis for a competition.
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".
