Not publishing results of the company in question is a way to:
1) avoid any legal problem (even if there is no problem actually)
2) punish the company which is trying to pressure them
It is their right to do so, and if I was given the opportunity I would have done
exactly the same thing.
It's just unfair to Stefan, but Stefan can complain to Ossi...
Anyway we all know that Shredder 4 would be number 3 or number 4 in the SSDF
list, and that Stefan has just won the WMCCC 2000, so I think everybody knows
how good his program is.
