Does "effectively stealing" means no stealing at all? Schleicher has

I thought the Pegase fuselage was a direct copy of the ASW-19 - easily
done, since Centrair were building the ASW-19F at the time. Then to
add insult to injury they gave the Pegase a better wing than the
ASW-19 had ...

That's my understanding - and I also thought the ASW19 & ASW20 had
almost identical fuselages. *But I also thought it was all sorted out
20 years ago or so, and there was nothing ongoing.

An ASW-20 is more-or-less just a flapped ASW-19, isn't it? I, too, had
the impression that the Schleicher-Centrair fight was settled years
ago ... but I'd be very surprised indeed if Schleicher had any
responsibility at all for Pegase airworthiness issues.

PS Wikipedia suggests that the Pegase uses the ASW-20 fuselage.
