For sure I cannot be count among the Houdini fans, there are a lot of things that I don't like about it:
1) Picking free public domain sources, modifying them and closing afterwards.
2) Being (pathetically) elusive regarding the origin of Houdini. I understand that he has some business to protect and that blatantly lie can be very dangerous in the long term (as we all have learn very well), nevertheless playing with the words every time is asked about this seems very poor to me.
But at the same time I really dont' understand why people is blaming if Houdart points to an illegal copy of his engine used in some public (or at list publicly released) list. He has all the rights to do so. Instead I see this thread spammed with silliness by clearly envy /anger people that, blinded by their mediocrity, shot at him like a way to force their own work to a level where it doesn't belong.
All in all a clear and sad example of how human things works and have worked since thousand years....

I'm afraid you misunderstood. When I wrote "it is not a stolen work of others", I was referring to Ippolit, not Houdini.
I am very well aware of Houdini's origin, I have no doubt it began its life as Robbolito. But I think the PD vs. GPL case is not entirely clear. To prove a violation of GPL, you need to find substantial pieces of code in Houdini which are also present in the GPL version of Robbolito but not in the PD version. IMO the %I64u stuff and the use of timeBeginPeriod() and timeEndPeriod() functions are not enough.

IMO the %I64u stuff and the use of timeBeginPeriod() and timeEndPeriod() functions are not enough.
for ex: show_banner() function, just as i wrote it...
the order of main () functions calls matches exactly...(very different than in ippolit_0080 and subsequent wikispaces releases)
the exact match and order of function calls corresponds exactly...
etc.
if in doubt, please read this very closely (starting with KLO's code comparisons on page 2):
http://www.open-chess.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1647
all (none) of which can not be mere 'coincidence'
but i'm not at all interested in attempting to 'prove' plagiarism in a court of law...
that should be that task of FSF, IMO...
and what already exists and has been presented is compelling,
and more than enough to completely convince me and many others.
whether or not there's actually enough to convince a court of law doesn't concern me,
and i'm certainly not going to waste my time/energy to provide more...
it's clear no one really cares anyway.
(just like the fact that many don't care about Rybka's origins)
isn't accountability and forthrightness concerning these chess programs (especially commercial ones) important?
why then are they being sold and supported by users here?
and tested/promoted by the major rating groups?
