Did you look at the linked article? It's not verbatim. It's clear that it was heavily based on Smartcar's docs, but it's most certainly not verbatim.

- ceejayoz 8y agoDid you? There's no way they got the same random state and client UUID via chance. That's a direct copy/paste. So are various tables they provided screenshots of.
- joemi 8y agoI'm not saying they didn't copy small portions of the original, such the highlighted UUIDs. But they most certainly did not copy the entire documentation (or even large portions) _verbatim_. They _paraphrased_ large portions of the documentation. "Verbatim" ("in exactly the same words as were used originally") has a purposefully different meaning than "paraphrase" ("express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words").
