I do not think you have the right to ask for a refund.
You should definitely demand Rybka's source code though as per the GPL license.

It's a little complex. I wish some of the money had gone to fabien l
And some to vas. That seems fair. I did buy fruit 2.2 as well but
Regrettably fabien did not make enough to stay in the game

You are correct.
The duplication of errors and dead code is.
It, like with the unneeded initializations, were put/included only for obfuscation, to prevent the reverse-engineer kings like ***i**y D**i**er from discovering the secrets.
I do not think that it has been demonstrated that Rybka has broken the law.
Reason being, Rybka did not break any laws. It is computer program!
IM Rajlich did not break any laws, that is point.
But some baboon may have broken laws
