For you all is money, all can be selled, all can be bought. I did not say it. I do not think that people are going to pay for movei today. I did not say that all is money. If programmers do not want to make money by their program they can sell it and give the money to poor people. I think that poor people need the money more than users of chess programs and users of chess programs can pay for them so I do not see the loss of knowledge for the human race(espacially when the source code is not free). >Yace its no so weak (i think that is a bit better than Movei, for example) I never said that yace is weak.

I talked about most of the programmers. Most of the free chess programs are not strong enough to be commercial. There are more than a hundred of free programs. Do you think that more than 50 programmers could sell their program? Uri
