Clone scandals cannot be prevented. The question is if we want them in the general forum or in another subforum.

Yes Mike,but how many clones appear in one year for example

IMHO,not that much so that we open a special subforum for them....

My proposal had only 31% support, but I stick to my opinion.

Silvian,
one small correction here, if i may...i wasn't releasing the source code for money. I was asking users to support the engines development, which can be an extremely expensive proposition. Financially, it's near impossible for any small develpoper to compete with the likes of the Rybka 'team', hiring IMs, buying powerful multi-processor servers, etc.

sincerely,
Norm

Mike-
in my opinion, a 'clone' forum would be a good idea, with some advantages: any suggestions, simiaritites, allegations, evidence, etc. could all be presented in one place in a common thread. authors would have a chance to defend themselves. the chess engine community could weigh in with their opinion. ultimately, it could even be put to a vote if the engine was accepted by the chess engine community or not.

A new subforum? no. a cemetery maybe, where all proven clones go to. Or perhaps a memorial page?

There's no need give them more spotlight than what they already get.

This clone cemetary already exists

As you can see, Oxygen is in.
