Some of their road cars also are largely Mercedes ;-) (engine)
But WTF indeed. This is why the current row between Renault and Force india is interesting. The FIA will have to rule on how far they car go...
Take the engine, gearbox, and therefore rear end like HAAS with ferrari, be almost a satellite team like Alfa, or a full copy like Pink panther...
and...I forget who said this...but if it goes into appeal, it leaves the FIA and goes to a public tribunal, where the judge might be less F1-aware and rule that this is a BS copy pure and simple...
It might be fun... I personally wish it stopped at the engine, not a step further... it's F1, not Indycar (which is cool also, just not the same idea)
