I heard that whatever evidence you present does not count. We need to contact
the author. Only the source code from him and his confession can tell us whether
its a clone or not. Your reverse engineering does not count.

Is it only _parts_ of the Arasan 7.4 code that was cloned by 8.0? I heard that
does not count either. It has to be 100%. Your big chunk 50% claim is
irrelevant. I suggest you wait for Bob. After you hear from Bob, it still won't
count. It has to be 100%.

Are you trying to discredit Jon?

Hehe. I'm only humoring too... Chill out. You started this.
