Go up one level in this thread
Just for your information and I had worked for a software developer for over 15 years the copyright laws simply state "there must be over 10% of the code in a program to be able to call it new". Using that defination just modifing the eval does not make a 'new', take the total length of the program in kilo bytes to see what 10% must be. Therefore almost every engine out there who claims to be new, isn't but simply clones. No matter what you might feel about programs and no matter how much better they may play than the original unless the total amount of the programming has been at least 10% new, it is a clone. Bill
