The Wincraft==> crafty cone was a conviction by shouting, and nobody ever gave any sort of fact to indicate a sniff of a reason for guilt.
Wincraft was absolutely, positively, not a crafty clone.
The only evidence I know of is the sound of the names.
The guy's name was Craft.
It was about 5% as strong as crafty, which would instantly blow Wincraft out of the water.
The Wincraft binary:

A contemporary Crafty binary:
02/14/1999 12:51 PM 466,944 Crafty1605.exe
Wincraft lacks opening books, tablebase files, and any other sophistication found in crafty.
I don't know where the 'Wincraft is a crafty clone' rumor started, but it has been perpeturated and is clearly, utterly, absurdly wrong.
Here's Wincraft's string table:
