bob durrett, this issue isn't crafty. The issue is ethics.
plagiarism. and the programmer of LIST.
so the ultimate expert on Crafty does not need to be called into the middle of
this in order for IGCA to execute the rules of its charter. because it is not
about crafty. it is about honesty. the programmer of list does not answer-- it
is said.
as this is becoming so charged, it is all for the good that the complainant
wasn't named. we should judge the program and the programmer's copliance to the
rules of the event, not the complainant nor dr. hyatt. dr hyatt, after all, did
not enter the event and dr hyatt did not make the charges.
if i had to imagine a circumstance which would involve RH, that would be giving
someone permission to use part of his code in a competing program. even so,
attribution is part of the ethical process, it had to have been acknowledged if
it happenned. the programmer of list has not addressed this, it is said.
