Go up one level in this thread


I give you a serious hint, Frank. You are a businessman and you already use
ElChinito in combination with one of your products. You cannot pretend to be
innocent as long as no clear "proof" did exist that ElChinito is a clone. If you
are using it however you should be very certain that it's NOT a clone. It all
falls back on you as the businessman, because if it's a clone, the programmers
might be far out of reach for possible recompensations. So you should be a bit
more interested into the details of the question.

IMO you can't take the opinion that you are sober when you "use" this program as
long as it's not clearly proven that it's a clone. Sorry for that position, but
before you are hirt in your business interests, you should carefully check the
here given position. I hope this helps you.

A good idea could be that your programmers hat to certify you that their product
is NO clone of Crafty. If then this is proven as a lie, then you have best
chances to be out of troubles.
