Hello,

A clone is an engine that is  a modified (or not) version of an other engine. A
clone is build using parts (or all) of the source code of the clonned engine. So
if I implement every algorithm used in Crafty I'm not cloning it, but if a used
some of the sources files of crafty, then I am cloning it.
