It would've been without EGTB support though. Excuse me? Are you implying that Eugene has ANY responsibility for someone else's bankruptcy? If you're not, please ignore the rest of this. Eugene doesn't have to give his code to anybody. It's his. He can license it under whatever legal terms he chooses. He can choose to allow non-commercial use only, commercial use only, no use at all by people named Randall -- it's his choice. He has no legal or fiduciary requirement to allow ANYONE to use it. He doesn't even have to answer email regarding it if he doesn't want to. Eugene has given, of his own choice, a wonderful idea and execution of that idea to the computer chess community. He didn't have to, however, and anybody who thinks that he has to, and is depending on that, might just be sadly disappointed.
