If you haven't read the code or have no understanding learn and research before accusing.
repeating the same non-facts and expecting some result.
Probably I missed the point in time when asking questions became the same thing as "accusing" and "repeating facts". Can't keep up with the times
I think it doesn't require much expertise to examine the code for license violations but it takes time and effort. That's the exact reason for me asking about this. I didn't find a clear answer on the forum so I was expecting someone who already knows the truth will tell me.
I can see this is a somewhat sensitive question for you guys but don't get me wrong. As a VNL holder I'm concerned about any potential problems this project can face and I'm not trying to obstruct it in any way.
For now I can summarize your answers as "We neither admit nor deny this. Anyway, you won't find anything. And even if you find something you won't prove it." Correct me if I'm wrong.
1. John wrote all of the code by himself and that's basically the answer for your questions.
2. You need a lot of money, time and effort to examine it for license violations. Only ignorant could think that all what it takes is to compare two snippets of code and take an analysis made by some 10 yo wannabe dev as a truth.
3. You can write everything you want about any cryptocurrency, especially here on bitcointalk. That's why some people are sensitive, because it's easy to spread the lies, but it's 10 times harder to straight them up. And asking this question again and again spreads the lie.
4. It's really a matter of common sense. All of the accusations are related to some not important, most basic methods. He was able to create zero-time, but you really think he had to copy-paste simpliest code and run it throught reformatter(or how is it called?)? Is something like this even under license, while it's a common knowledge and everyone can do this without looking at bitcoin code(and obviously it will look similar)?
