I have talk about "frankenstein" just to give an idea about a program written
taking not just code, but even ideas, suggestions and so on from various
sources. I consider any information as a piece of the programming "DNA". There's
nothing bad about Frankenstein programs, because they are the result of an hard
work of research. The same is for clone programs, when the programmer examines
the code to make it better.
