This post it's because i want to know people point of view in this matter. I received some weeks ago some emails that make me aware of some denunciations about my engine stating that it is a clone. Since i can not know who make this denunciation and why they made it, i cannot make an statement on this fact. Maybe something related to fafis case, because it happens just after that case. So in order to stop this from the very beggining i released my source code. I don't hide any big secret, and i'm sure that 99.99% of the code was typed by me. Maybe some lines are taken from code snippets from forums, but are almost nothing. Some ideas are taken from everywhere, but the most of them are taken from papers, thesis, articles and books. Now i think that because that emails where sended to several people of this forum (a public accusation in my understanding) they think that my engine probably could be clone. I see some comments as insinuations against my engine (probably wrong about it). I feel a sensation also that because i was defending Rafael, people think that i was defended the clone cause. So my questions: can source code completly validate an engine as legal? if not, what can validate an engine as legal? Has anyone receibed messages from karimejaime_80@hotmail.com? someone know who is? i really would like to know who did this acussations and what is the interest. Maybe i'm taking too seriuos something that does not need to be taken seriuos... or maybe not.
