It's allowed to have 1(one) working copy of software, wherever it is, e.g. I buy, lend to my friend AND remember to delete my installation. Actual quite the same thing with standalone chesscomputers. They circulate and the results one/all gets (matches) is free to publish. As I mentioned - just like "the old days" in SSDF. And I think this could be a solution, i.e. the "most promising = what the members wants to buy" programs comes on the list, the rest - well, bad luck. What they actually decide I don't know... kim
