New Hand Converter

[bigredlemon]

Remember that you are claiming a copyright in the code, not a patent. (You cannot claim a patent on the hand converter script as it was publicly used.) With a copyright, a person is allowed to create an identical work that is an exact replica so long as that person reached the result independently.

Thus proving that GRB's code is an exact duplicate of your own converter is irrelevant in reaching a finding of copyright infringement. Rather, you need to prove that the new code was based upon the original code, and that the new convert was not sufficiently transformed from the original to amount to a new work.
