Dear friend: What you have said about Crafty bau sue, missuse or whaterver has been already said and does not add nothing to the debate. You have failed to understandt the arguiment by Dgeordge. And that by Dayley also. The point is: yes, there are abuses, wrong doings, etc, BUT the nenefit of still having Crafty freele available suprass all that. We are links, just links and the issues about legal rights and so on are importan but just an episode in the history of human progress. Remember the discussion between Darwin and Wallace respect to whom was the author of evolution theory? That's was an important legal matter, but nobody care about that now: what matter is the theory in itself. In this process of cooperation trhought competence that is the stuff with which human endeavour are made, all kind of ugly things happens, but that is the price to be payed for evoliution to go on. I am sure that the cheating or abuse of a guy because he copy-pasted Crafty source and then won a mean price somewhere is a lot less important than the fact of the many programmers that has gone beyond his own resoruces thanks to Bob gift. He is a man to be praised because of his detachment, probably one of thge most admirable virtues a human being can show. Detachment, you know, mean to forget the ego in a good degree. fernando
