Out of everything you said, that last sentence leaves me the most "chilled". IE, in my case, I got code from Eugene, he has access to my code in return. We _both_ gain, as if he decides to write a new chess engine, he has samples for lots of current ideas. Should I decide to write yet another TB generator, I have samples from him for current ideas. In the case of the commercial programs, _what_ does he get in return? zilch... That has _always_ been a bothersome point to me...
