Excuse me, are you saying that because Eugenio is pretending of having tried to contact Bob via email in 2003 that AND that he didn't succeed in getting an exchange with Bob that therefore Eugenio was allowed to steal the parts of Bob's code without any permission? I doubt that this logic is the actually leading logic in Spain! Spain is part of the EU and the laws of copyright are valide through whole Europe. The Law says without a doubt that you cannot steal code and use it from Crafty without the permission of Bob to use it. The whole question by Frank Q. namely if Chinito is a Crafty clone - this is absolutely uninteresting. Already now we know that parts of Crafty code incl. the bugs has been illegally used without Bob's permission. Case closed. Frank must throw that program from his webpage, period.
