I understand that Dan looked at a previous version. But Dan just said, "Looking
at the code, this author has no need to copy someone else's
work to create excellence." I guess it's possible that after creating such
excellent code the author then choose to return to Crafty and co-opt its code,
but it seems to me that it's rediculous to continue to put the burden of proof
on the author once you know he derived an independent version. Does this guy
have to jump through flaming hoops to prove his innocence?
