At the risk of sounding flippant ;-) .. maybe its better to just 
continue hoping it doesn't come up! they would prove it by convincing a 
courtroom that their story is better than yours, if enough money were 
involved, by hiring all kinds of Computer Experts to present whatever 
evidence they can come up with.

  It seems unlikely to come up unless you sue them. you could make some 
minor change to all other versions which you could distinguish from that 
version.  'Lord Vader is whispering in your ear, “Come over to the dark
