I don't know myself.

Professionals who came to WCCC said that Fruit is not a threat for their
sellings.  Others are welcomed to let me know of their opinion by email
(fabien_letouzey@hotmail.com).  However some experts expect more and more Fruit
clones in future tournaments (including on-the-board ones), especially after the
performance in WCCC.

There is also the insufficiency (IMO) of the GPL in the chess case that I have
to ponder on (pun intended).

For these reasons, I have decided so far NOT to release my source code anymore.
Continuing to do so could harm the community beyond repair, and at the same time
I believe that public Fruit 2.1 is strong enough to participate in a paradigm
revolution (skeptical programs or whatever).

Thanks for listening,

Fabien.
