Why an "book author" can be part of more than one team and an "engine author"
can't? I find this very difficult to accept and it is against the spirit of CC
competitions. Commercials could participate, they will have to choose one engine
per company if they do not want to have different books. Cloning is not
acceptable right? Why cloning of the opening should be?
If the book is consider part of the engine, there is no ethical way in which a
book can be part of more than one team.
