magic the gathering clone kicker

[Swamp]

when you clone a card in magic does it include kicker?

[Zidarose]

Ruling:

10/4/2004 As a copy, the Clone copies all characteristics of the chosen creature. This includes name, color, power/toughness, abilities, and more. For example, a copy of an artifact creature is an artifact creature.

You have the option of kicking the creature.

[seba1983]

whilst you get a clone with a kicker ability, the time the clone becomes that copy he will already be on the battlefield. since you can use kicker only when you cast the creature spell you can no longer kicker it once it is in play already.

so in practice you have a clone with a kicker ability but there is no time when you could use that ability.
