Sorry but I do not understand your proof
I am not good at reading source code of other people but if I understand
correctly you had to change numbers in the tables in the source that you give
to produce output similiar to fruit.

The idea to have rook mobility based on number of moves is obvious but I do not
see the same evaluation as fruit in your code

for example it seems that your code evaluates rook mobility as less important
and also has a different piece square tables:

In this case you should have problem with every commercial program.
A lot of programmers use the same ideas(for example a lot of programmers use
null move pruning)

Fabien himself has no problem with using fruit's ideas.
The only thing that is not allowed is using copy and paste.
