It matches the line-by-line version information of a clone to the pair{\textquoteright}s other clone. A case study on the GNOME Desktop Suite revealed a complex flow of reused code between the different subprojects. In particular, it showed that the majority of larger clones (with a minimal size of 28 lines or higher) exist between the subprojects and more than 60\% of the clone pairs can be automatically separated into original and copy.}, keywords = {clone, gnome, msr challenge, source code}, isbn = {978-1-4244-6802-7}, doi = {10.1109/MSR.2010.5463290}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/98Coning.pdf}, author = {Krinke, Jens and Gold, Nicolas and Jia, Yue and Binkley, David} }
