Zdravstvuyte Mr. Pradeep Chandiramani,
The fact that you're passing of most the code I wrote earlier in python as your own isn't too distressing (aw come on, even the comments? Surely you could obfuscate them to another level...? Perhaps write it backwards?).
What is so distressing is this prevalence of plagiarism and lack of imagination plaguing the country. It is heartbreaking to see that a community which prides itself as coders really has no clue what it means to code.
Why do you like to code Monsieur Chandiramani? Is it the problem-solving aspect of it? The mathematical elegance? The sheer utility of the end-product, and how it will help people? Well, ripping code off disqualifies you on all counts, except perhaps the final one. But then, you'd practice the maxim of the scientific community - "Give credit where its due". If you were to time travel back to the beginning of the 20th century, you wouldn't see Einstein going “And, I'll just rename this from 'Planck' to 'Einstein's' constant. Ah, and a little change of order here, and we get the 'Einstein Uncertainty Principle.' Maybe if I write it in German, I can claim Dirac's work as my own. Wunderbar!” (Pardon the anachronism).
Since I released Sistine in Public Domain, you are free do to whatever you want. But please, let us put a stop to plagiarism, and give innovation and imagination a chance, eh mate?
Auf Wiedersehen,
- Liet-Kynes
