It seems a bit opaque/confusing. Pretty soon everyone seems to be based on the same root 'genome' and you can't even tell which cars are 'yours' so to speak. Likewise, you can't wall off your own gene pool so that it doesn't get cross-contaminated.

So did you ask Rafael Matsunaga if you could copy and release his code as open source?

Seriously. They even copied his text verbatim. The original code didn't mention any license which I don't think means it's a free-for-all. Also, they apparently copied the code before he pushed a bug-fix I emailed him yesterday :)

We added the "Your Car" label which is mutated based on the current Champion of the World. We are working on improving the manipulation capabilities for Intelligent Design.

Probably missing something ...

Which is my car? Is it competing? If so, against who? How can I tell? I have no idea what Im looking at, which is my car, who Im competing against, who is doing well.

Is there some sort of dummies guide for the likes of me???? :)

Despite all that, Im mesmerized!!!

Edit: I see down votes? How is it wrong to not understand something and ask for some help. Why is that a down vote?

So do you know what the license is. I'm planning to fork this awesomeness for some other variants, and I'm sure others are thinking about that too.

Seems like an afterthought. I couldn't find any license on the original either.
