I vote to Boycott any program that won't let itself be published by SSDF. I'm tired of the true reason behind this. Which is best stated as "If I can't be #1 don't put me on the list at all". Play the best chess is all you have to do. CM isn't tuned against any program, doesn't have any special opening book, no learning features, and yet it sits practically atop Everest. I don't even care if they went as far as to say well test the prog like CM manually instead of with an Autoplayer. Don't sit around trying to tell people they can't publish a FREE non profit resource on the results of a program. As for the SSDF they should never have let theirselves be bullied into listing secret programs in the first place.
