Exactly - however I would regard all the above mentioned engines as clones. No
doubt about it. If the list gets too long then the clone status is proven. All
the transfering into something else (what Uri seems to have in mind) doesn't
change matters at all. If someone could write me a transformation tool with
which I could by simple pushing buttons transfer code from FRUIT into my
personal Monster CRY WOLF then even I could participate in one of the next Wch.
Supposed I have time enough.
