On the “incompetent dev” note.

Usually XMR guys mention CN developers with the line
“Parts of this file are originally copyright (c) 2012-2013 The Cryptonote developers”

And these files are not the exception.

src/common/base58.cpp
src/common/base58.h
src/common/varint.h
src/connectivity_tool/conn_tool.cpp
src/crypto/crypto-ops.c
src/crypto/crypto-ops.h
src/crypto/initializer.h
src/crypto/random.c
src/crypto/random.h
src/crypto/tree-hash.c
src/cryptonote_core/cryptonote_basic_impl.h
src/cryptonote_core/cryptonote_boost_serialization.h

src/serialization/debug_archive.h
src/serialization/json_archive.h
src/serialization/json_utils.h

src/platform/mingw/alloca.h
src/platform/msc/sys/param.h
src/platform/msc/alloca.h
src/platform/msc/inline_c.h
src/platform/msc/stdbool.h

The only difference is that XMR devs failed to mention that these files were not changed at all. What “parts” are you talking about in your copyright? If you’re using a whole file without any changes - say so. What’s the point in this little dirty trick?
