USA law (from reading the SCO vs Linux crap) is 40%.

If your program has 1,000 lines of code, and 600 of those lines are from Crafty,
but 400 of them are 'original' (not renamed), you have your 'own' program.

That just means Bob can't sue you.  Not that the ICGA couldn't kick you out of
its tournament.
