I see no problem with it.

The program and the book should not be available in order to prevent unfair
advantage.

I am sure that if Gulko becomes commercial and everybody can buy it and play
against it when the real gulko knows nothing about the games then Gulko's elo is
going to be smaller but it is not fair.

If we want to know the real elo of programs then the programs should not be
commercial and the program should have the right to learn from the programmer
between the games(humans also learn from other people between games).
