For example, if you wrote an 8080 BASIC with lots of
bugs, with many functions
missing, etc, and then tried to pass it off as the Microsoft BASIC that would
be forgery I think.
Whereas if you wrote an x86/x64 OS with lots of bugs, severe security
holes, etc and then tried to pass it off as Microsoft Windows, many
would argue you created a faithful and exact copy. :-)
