My opinion is that instead of a law that forbid cloning there should be a law that force understanding and copying should be done only with a good reason. Situation when a programmer cannot use faster code than the code that he wrote inspite of understanding the faster code should not exist. I understand that it is not the law and even if a programmer find that data structure of some public chess source(that he understands) is faster than other structures that he tried he cannot use it.
