i will publish the code if the new version plays good chess. toga based on fruit
will never be private.
but it makes no sense to publish beta code. if i would do that i would have to
publish every week a new source code. and i also have no own homepage. so i
would have to ask alex schmidt every week if he could distribute a new beta.
sorry, but that makes absolute no sense for me.
and what has a beta version to do with the "fully credit to the true author"?
sorry, but at the moment i don´t understand the world anymore.
if you don´t like toga based on fruit and me than it is absolutely ok. it is
your choice to use it or not. but i do not understand your arguments.
if you want i can send you 6 different beta versions. i am sure the computer
chess comunity needs all these beta versions.
sorry, there is no logic for me.
