Great story ; I read the book of "The Search" by John Battle, quite inspirational (for IT startups).
Reading the conversation you had with the company owners, it seems they fed you lines from the book as to what sets 'google' search engine apart.
However, I still don't understand the logic of the great lengths they took to insist that they came up with the scripts,,,
Because from my point of view, it does not matter, they are here for business -ain't it ? And if they can be able to attract 1 million or more people to use their services, then target is achieved,,,
What do they have to gain by denying the source of the script ? Except post success embarrassment.
My advise to them:
-Great artists copy ( that has worked well for many )
-If you want to touch the sky, you can either get yourself a plane,or wait to grow to be 30,000 ft tall, or step on the shoulders of giants - then use your own arms to scratch the skies for rain :)

@Dennis, nice writeup on the Irozho story in CIO. BD tech writer is
surely going to have some serious competition, especially with many holes in their articles that sometimes I don't know what to say about it. I definately congratulate you on making it to the CIO writeup. I'd suggest that you attend some journalism classes that will help you become a better writer because kenyan scene is buzzing with myths and genuine innovations. With that said, good luck and congrats again. :-)
