It already happened with patriot and I am afraid that the programmer plan to sell it not by arena. It is illegal but if people think that they can make money of it they may do it and there are people who never read about fruit and will only read that there is a new progran in similiar level to the commercial programs and I also guess that there are buyers who do not care and will be happy to buy some modified fruit that is slightly better even if they know that it is a clone and it is illegal. The question is what steps can be done against the cloners who do not care about the fact that they do something illegal(espacially if the police in the relevant country decide that it has no time to deal with cloners who try to sell their program because they have more important things to do).
