There are a number of misunderstandings: CSS and ChessBase are neither officially nor "inofficially" the same; CSS is a computer chess magazine (ChessBase has it's own magazine btw. called ChessBase Magazin). Furthermore, Andreas is a regular member of the CSS message board where the quote comes from, and makes his contributions there and to the magazine (but isn't in the editors staff). What he wrote is, that CDs where Crafty engines are included - not as the (main) product those CDs are sold with, i.e. Fritz - cost money. He does of course NOT claim that Crafty is commercial, more the opposite: A Gromit version was on a CD collection most of you will have heard of, the Young Talents CD, which wasn't free neither. What I understood from his statement is, that putting an amateur, or non-commercial engine on a CD which costs something (because commercial products are the main part of it), doesn't make that engine commercial.
