Uri, he let the testers believe they were testing an original program.  He only
admitted the truth after they confronted him with a mountain of evidence that
his program was a Fruit clone.  If they hadn't discovered the truth, one has to
wonder if he ever would have admitted it himself.

He changed 50 lines out of 15,000, and we're supposed to consider it a separate
engine, different enough from Fruit that it deserves a new name?  No way.
