This may or may not be true.  I don't know anything about
Toga; in fact I had never even heard about it before reading
your message.

However, I wish people could stop making such accusations
without providing proof or at least very strong evidence for
their claims.  If you don't have any strong evidence, it would
be better to write that you _suspect_ the engine to be a clone
and state that you will exclude the engine from your
tournaments until the case has been more thoroughly
examined, or to keep silent until you are 100% sure.

Accusing a program of being a clone without even explaining
which program it is supposed to be a clone of (Crafty and
Fruit are, as has been pointed out elsewhere in the thread,
entirely different engines) is in my opinion unacceptable.
