Let's make it a bit clearer.  Person A *used* the code from person B, and  
used the *documentation* of said code to write his own similar library.   
Person A has not claimed that he looked at the source.  Person B claims  
that it is impossible to do so without actually looking at the source, but  
has not yet cited any specific copying.  Person C doesn't want any  
trouble, and just is being extra careful.

I don't really like the situation, but if this is the way it has to be,  
then let's get it done and move on.
