I hope that there is no problem with movei. I asked only permission from Dieter to use his win draw tables for KPK and got it. This is the only use that public movei is using(I do not use tablebases except win/draw KPK and wins are translated to multiplying the evaluation by 3 so it does not show a mate score). It is not using tablebases in other cases and I guess that at least in the case of the KPK tables it is not hard to generate equivalent tables from scratch. Uri
