I don't think you are doing anybody a favor by generating your own tables, even
if they are a bit smaller.

What happens is that the customer now needs to fit in your tables _along_ with
the Nalimov tables.

Practicly twice the space needed and one set of tables is only usable by one
single engine!

If you want to compete with Nalimov it's a different ball game, but then you
need to publish the access code of course :)
