I really understand your position in respect to Okser, but I think you should
remember the tournament is one of programs and programmers. The program entered
is to represent YOUR efforts and the current state of YOUR work, not his. The
games will reflect this as well. If he is as close a colaborator as to deserve
this consideration, then he should understand this as well. Naturally, you can
do whatever you please, but I think you should either provide him with the means
to represent you as best as possible, or explain your position to him.
