RE: Plagiary problem

[Pieter Cuijpers <P.J.L.Cuijpers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the plagiary scene as I see it.
It is not a solution, but I think it is the most logical way out.

1. I write a darn good Go-program. Say "Pagode"
2. I spread it around the world
3. I join a contest.
4. A suspected plagiary occurs and another program joins
    the contest. Let's call it. "Bad Guy"
5. Because of sheer bad luck "Bad Guy" wins the contest.
6. I suspect plagiary and after a while I am able to prove it.

The only thing I can think of is to go to court and start a legal case.
!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!?

If I win the case we may ask the contest organisation to change the results.
If I loose that is bad luck.
If I can't stand the idea I shouldn't have entered the commercial world anyways.


I hope I haven't offended anyone by putting it like this and am prepared to receive some severe critisism.

As a last cent I do not see what plagiarism has to do with actually programming Go. 
I don't think it's a problem that plagiarism is discussed here. But let's not forget about the real topics this list is about.
