Can it be proved that the PopCount() or Get_First_Bit_From_Bitboard() or whatever crafty uses is plagarised by list ?! If you are going to get into specific code module plagarism - then how was the accusation made in the first place ?!!! How did the accusor know about this unless he has seen the code ?! These are internal to the engine and just cant be observed from outside. Hence we can safely conclude that it has to be some externally visible component. So what could that be : EGTB ? , opening book ? learning ? cli syntax (!!!) ? I dont know how List supports all this - so cant comment on these. But these are trivial issues !!!! To make such a serious accusation and ICGA following it up with such severe action , due to such petty reasons is indeed extremely saddening.
