Bruce Moreland brought this up:
No author can be included in more than one program (that is a rule). So, if the
opening book becomes "part of the program" and the name of the book creator
(author) goes along a "team", that book could be used only in one participant
program.
If the same logic follows the endgame tablebases and the code that allows to
access it, only one program will be allowed to use them, because
Nalimov could not be "co-author" in more than one "team".
There was a whole thread about this a several weeks ago.

Regards,
Miguel
