Errr, All I'm seeing in the article is a, 'We didn't use any of their code guys, see compare the functionality of our products yourself.' Unfortunately, as true as the article might be, simply showing different functionality doesn't mean you didn't steal other portions of the codebase that don't deal directly with the algorithms of what you're doing. For all the reader knows you stole video decoding/encoding, audio decoding/encoding portions or something even as innocuous as a GUI frontend. Now agreeing to do a 3rd party analysis is a wise thing, hopefully the legal system forces this. If the accusation is that code was stolen, then someone should have to actually verify against what is alleged that they stole, it'd be pretty ridiculous if they awarded any damages without doing anything like this and simply went on the basis that 'they are similar products or may use similar algorithms.' Being similar or using similar algorithms does not mean they are the same.
