clone
n.

connotes lower price.
2. A shoddy, spurious copy: ?Their product is a clone of our product.?

secret protections: ?Your product is a clone of my product.? This use
implies legal action is pending.
4. [obs] PC clone: a PC-BUS/ISA/EISA/PCI-compatible 80x86-based
microcomputer (this use is sometimes spelled klone or PClone). These
invariably have much more bang for the buck than the IBM archetypes they
resemble. This term fell out of 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 without Unix license fees, or with additional

of that file before you mung it?.

additional "mission-critical" features such as support for
real-time programming.
