Chess engines are written (most often) by one person, then tested by a group of independent testers during a longer period. The single programmer himself cannot play enough tournaments to verify the engine. But I think that most of us (the overwhelming majority) favour original Fruit over all it's clones, so the whole licensing debate is interesting only on a matter of principle. It has no practical importance in this case.
