reverse-engineering. Also connotes lower price. 2. A shoddy, spurious copy: “Their product is a clone of our
product.” 3. A blatant ripoff, most likely violating copyright, patent, or
trade secret protections: “Your product is a clone of my

PC-BUS/ISA/EISA/PCI-compatible 80x86-based microcomputer (this use is
sometimes spelled klone or PClone). These invariably have much more bang

use in the 1990s; the class of machines it describes are now simply
PCs or Intel machines. 5. [obs.] In the construction Unix
clone: An OS designed to deliver a Unix-lookalike environment
