You could even go further and ask, why they are allowed to use the CessBase GUI
?
That's because, there are other important features besides the book itself:
first of all book-learning through the CB-GUI which is particularly essential
for the SSDF kind of matches, another things is the EGTB access by the GUI. So
in case a 5 men position appears on the board, the engine won't even be invoked;
that's handled completely by the CB GUI.

On the other hand, the CB commercial engines have been using these features for
a long time without anyone complaining as far as I know. Why should gromit be a
so terribly different case here ?

Nevertheless, I can understand that this is difficult to accept for the book
making people.
Perhaps they should be asked by any tournament director whether they agree to
the use of their book by ANY engine.
