I agree that from my point of view List5.04 and Anconda1.00 are commercial.
I see no reason to consider a program as a free program if people need to buy
another program to get it.

Maybe I should change my definitions and the word commercial is not the right
word but the word free is also not right because by my understanding a free
chess program means that nobody needs to buy another chess program to use it.
