This is your point, but not what Russel was talking about. There's no doubt that much work and knowledge is necessary to create a good opening book, but you can't claim rights on chess moves. I.e. if a Rebel program plays an opening line with your book and the game is published, that line might appear in various books people create from games collections. Has a part of your book been stolen by that? But something else I wanted to ask: What if a normal customer (and programmer), who has bought a Rebel program including your book, uses it to support his own engine in a big tournament? He says, if have bought this software, and I use it legally. What about that? I'm not talking about people who take parts of your book and offer it as their own work (that's obviously not ok), but cases where somebody could say "Yes, I use the Noomen openings which I've paid for when buying Rebel Century (for example), for the games my engine XY plays in that tournament." Is this illegal (in terms of law)? I've asked the question before: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?227217 Regards, M.Scheidl
