3. Ippolito is heavily based on reverse enginnering Rybka 3 and so what? This is one I can never understand as it is based on the argument "two wrongs make a right". The people who argue it almost all base it on "since Rybka is a ripoff, this one is ok", or... two wrongs make a right. Just my 2 cen...

According to Mr. Rajlich and company, The Ippolit series is or began as reverse-engineered Rybka 3. Mr. Rajlich claims that he lost the source of Rybka 3.

I read long time ago when Strelka came out someone asked Vasik whether it might be possible that his code got stolen, he said no, because h...

Neh. They had Rybka 3 beta available for some time, they were testing/tuning it, for what, months? Not a single backup copy in that timeframe? Who does that? They might very well have the source for some of the betas. I think what was said was that the exact one that became the release wasn't saved...
