I think an answer would be for Eugene to say "no commercial program may use
my endgame tables in any chess tournament or event."  _then_ the commercial
guys might "get it".  It is ok for _them_ to use stuff they didn't create.
But the pipe only flows one way in that world.

Again, I am for the "everybody uses it or only one program uses it" approach.

Anything else is flawed in a basic way.
