Ok.

When I read "you can't use fritz" I thought of the chess engine. Anyway, I don't
think it hurts ChessBase at all. The _engines_ still come from ChessBase alone,
and if a user additionally has to buy CP or CA in order to connect to the ICC,
how could that possibly hurt ChessBase? Or do they sell an interface alone w/o
the engine?
