>And I'm just saying again, "What does it matter to you?"

I am interested in an independent and strong SSDF which does not have to fear
legal threats if they want to publish test results. This matters a lot to me.

>Are you being bullied or prosecuted - No
>Are the people being "bullied & prosecuted" publishing the results anyway - Yes.

No they are not. See several posts of Bertil Eklunds on the matter. Ossi Weiner
forbade them to publish the results of Genius, Zarkov and WChess.

For computer chess the authenticity and independence of the SSDF as the only
major testing institution is not a private matter. Nor is the behaviour of the
major software publishers.

CCC is a healthy, strong and commercially independent forum which can survive a
little controversy as long as it remains free of _personal_ attacks, Tina. Some
excitement here and there may even help to raise the number of visits/members.

Furthermore there is no need to refer to my unthoughtful original post which has
been thankfully deleted. I am simply quoting SSDF member Bertil Eklund in this
thread.

Bottom line: I would like the SSDF to be allowed to publish all test results. At
the moment this is not the case. Bertil Eklund said that Ossi Weiner asked them
to suppress the results of Genius, Zarkov and WChess,
