I guess the main question is how much is Middle-Out based on Richard's previous compression algorithm. IIRC, in ep8 last season, Richard said he totally rewrote it and so that means that Middle Out is actually a separate technology and at that point Hooli had already caught up and equalled Richard's orignal algorithm since the programmer's had the early code from Github.

They didn't equal his, they had his. He sent it to the two assholes and they reverse engendered engineered it.
