Subject: My conversation with Hsu.......

I was recently in contact with Hsu, where I asked him if there was anyway that
he would either a.) sell the technology in DB or b.) donate this information to
someone (Hyatt comes to mind) who would put it to use and keep it safe from
being commercial use.

Basically he told me he only bought the rights to rematch Kaspy (who refused).
And to keep IBM off his back, if he decided to make a Shogi engine.  Period.  No
other reasons.  He will never sell/commercialize/donate/share his information.
Ever.

What a terrible, terrible dissappointment.
