Subject: GPL source branch and competing

Go up one level in this thread



Curious, I'm all for open source, and even forking projects.  How does the
credit work when a chess engine forked from another engine competes? Does both
people get the title?

For example the case of Fruit and Toga, if they both won a tournament say 1st
and 2nd place, could Fabian say he (in a way) held 1st and 2nd place, or just
the author of the new branch (or a team win perhaps).
