On escaping copyright by rewriting everything

[chrisw]

One can intuit the informational teasers are to keep the case alive, but why don't you just wait until you have produced your document, if any?

I did not do it in this specific case(I remember that Strelka clearly has different weights in many cases) but without discussing about the rybka-fruit case it seems that your positions is against progress in computer chess based on your previous post.

You said:
"If by "differences" you mean weights, then you would be correct. Well, sort of. Perhaps you should take a closer look."

This suggests that using the same ideas that are easy to remember not in the same code and having different weights(because you do not remember the original weights) is not ok based on your opinion.

...

I think before we continue in this direction you should closely examine the weights in Strelka's passed pawn eval. Hell, do it in the whole eval. Then you might understand where I am coming from.

I don't think Zach is saying he is "against progress". More that he is "against copying". There is zero chance that someone would reproduce the same weights for many eval terms on his own. Copying values is certainly not illegal, _if_ the GPL is honored. That would mean making the entire source GPL..
