For free??? Only in our dreams. If they give it for free it would be
unfair for the hard work the programmers make for improving the engines.
Although i agree that they must sell engines separate with a price of
15-20 Euro/Dollars  and the GUI with 40 E/D so we don't get the same GUI
with Fritz/Junior/Shredder/CTiger paying 4 times the same thing.
