If I buy a book or a CD I can read the book or play the CD. But I am not allowed to state 'I wrote this book' or 'This is my music work on this CD'. I even cannot COPY parts of the book and use it for my own, without a permission of the publisher. In case of 'using' a commercial book: You'll either have to hack the code (illegal) or play with the same GUI that supports such a book (not allowed in the ICGA rules). So why not keep it simple: Invite a brilliant opening expert in the Tao team! Completely legal, gives you a new book that nobody knows :-). >That's not the same.
