Talk:Duplicate code
Appearance
What is a public tool? I see my addition of SolidCD has been removed. I assume that is because it links to a non OSS application. Then why are other similar applications allowed (e.g.,Simian, CP-Miner)?
The article offers reducing file size as motivation for duplicate reduction. Really? Seems a pretty trivial reason. How about the fact that code faults are proportional to lines of code? That seems to me to be a much bigger issue.
