Apparently, according to my teacher (he wrote Checkpoints and a new textbook), there is no such thing as a pilot implementation. But I think you may be forgiven for putting that.

My major gripe is with the legal and ethical question. They could've chosen a more sensible scenario. I said:

Ethical
Lucy may need to know whether Peter is making her software worst
Lucy may need to know whether Peter is putting backdoors into her system

Legal
Breach of copyright software license
Ownership of the changes to the software
GPL and OpenSource requirement to publish changes.
