You can say the same for shredder,Rebel,Tiger and all the commercial programs.
The problem is that releasing the london version of Fritz can help the other
programs to get better ssdf rating in the next list because in this case they
can test their program against Fritz(london) and get an advantage.

I think that if you want to get the best version you should convince the ssdf to
stop testing the same version and instead of having old programs like Fritz3 to
have only one program Fritz that is the latest commercial program and the same
for other programs.

In this case the programmers will have a reason to release their latest version
when they think that it is better than previous versions if they want better
ssdf rating.
