You assume that you have to answer every question.

I think that if you tell the customers that you do not answer
them questions about winboard and UCI then it is OK.

You only need to make the facts clear before the customers buy
it.

I fail to see the disadvantage of program that also
can run on winboard or UCI
even if the author does not explain how to run it
in that enviroment.
