Ah, a plagiarism checker that can understand simple code transformation and find the original source? Sounds like a good idea for patent trolls and I have no idea about how/if copyright laws can be apply in this case. Does copying the idea but not copying the code verbatim constitutes copyright violation?

The patent troll version of the algorithm needs the victim's bank balance as input too. In fact that's probably all it needs.

It would be much more valuable for people who care about the truth.
