A "church" whose central tenet is the right to file-share has been formally recognised by the Swedish government.

The church, which holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V (shortcuts for copy and paste) as sacred symbols...

"For the Church of Kopimism, information is holy and copying is a sacrament.

:lol:

Forlornly it appears there is already a substantial following in CC programming, I prophesize many more disciples to come.

Glad to see your continuing participation in Wikipedia (not just IPPOLIT); I hope others qualified within the CC community participate (impartially) as well. This is truly the broadest window to the general public. Imagine students from all over the world doing term papers on computer chess, for example. What a fascinating subject to explore, on so many levels.

I am going to try soon to clean-up the Chess Engine Wiki page which is quite disorganised and a bit outdated.
