False claims? It's what you've said[1][2], albeit a long time ago, but because I can't find any up to date information that you've published (care to link to it?) I can't suddenly know something else.
You're not required to do anything, you can tell me to piss off if you like, but if you want people to claim things and for them to be factually accurate you should publish this information, and if you have then please link to it because I'm struggling to find it.
If you want people to stop spreading misinformation (intentional or mistaken) then spread the correct information, otherwise learn to accept that when you say you use the bing api but refuse to explain to what extent, people will assume your site is entirely powered by it.
Yes, false claims. You claimed that "DDG just uses the bing API" to get results. That is false, and I don't remember ever saying that anywhere because it is false.
Those two posts do not say otherwise. They mention that we use BOSS, which is of course true. The distinction is that we do not just use BOSS by any means.
I actually started out crawling the Web before BOSS even existed, and still crawl quite a lot. As for recent info, look no farther than the DDG FAQ, or my HN comments. This is from just 3 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2184873
Note: no one was requiring you to make any claims, false or otherwise. So I still don't get why I need to divulge information to stop you from making false claims.
