Hi Matthias,

I am no less forgiving towards clones than you are, but in this
particular case I cannot agree with you.  Stating that a chess
engine is a clone is a serious accusation, and requires
substantial evidence.  Claiming that "engine X is a clone of
engines Y/Z", where Y and Z are not even similar, and without
giving any evidence whatsoever, does not count as exposing
an engine as a clone.

It is very possible that Toga is a clone.  The tests done by
Heinz even makes it _likely_ that it is.  Nevertheless, it
deserves the benefit of the doubt until we have some more
solid data.
