Subject: question about definition of clones

Author: Uri Blass

Date: 19:06:24 08/20/05

Suppose that somebody look at some public source code and decide to write code
that does the same algorithm but with different data structure so he cannot use
copy and paste for chess tasks.

Do you think that the program is a clone or use code of another programmer?
Do you think that the programmer should not be allowed to participate in
tournaments?

Note that my opinion is that the programmer should be allowed to participate
because copying ideas unlike copying code is allowed but before even considering
to try this idea(I am not sure if I will try it even if it is allowed) I prefer
to ask this question.
