>"Copying or retyping other code is cloning. Writing it yourself is not."

I look for a definition that can help us solve controversies, when someone is
acussed of clonning or in tournaments to determine there is no clone involved.
One problem with this definition it's that it's only usefull for own author,
everyone else can't be asure if author "write the code himself".

Also "writing for yourself" can mean many things:

* Could mean you live in a black empty space and nobody help you with absolutly
nothing (not even sharing ideas)

* Could mean you code someone else ideas.

* Could mean you translate another code from a different lenguage.

* Could mean you read the code, understand and now write what your understand.

Also you completly miss about "ideas", i mean witch ideas are allowed to share
and witch not.

Also, there is source people agree is ok to share.
