First how do you know this is the case? Most of the engines move the same moves in tactical positions, so just subtract from the moves Crafty and List play equal all the moves that a large enough roup of engines play, and you'll see they play different, very different. On top of that: this is no necessrely enough nor proving much. >Yes they claim to have some circumstantial evidence, if >they had clear evidence they didn't need to ask for the source-code, but >just ban him at once. >It's very difficult, maybe impossible to prove that LIST is a Crafty clone >without having the source-code. Yes, furhtermore the law does not state precisely what happens if the author fails to provide the code
