Subject: Bionic v Crafty - a possible solution

Author: Steve Maughan

After the huge thread regarding Crafty and Bionic can I suggest a possible
solution.

How about Dr Hyatt retaining copyright on _part_ of the Crafty code.  For
example the MakeMove UnMakeMove section.  This allows budding programmers to
probe the _ideas_ behind Crafty eg Null Move, QSearch etc and incorporate them
into their own programs.  However, since it would be tough to completely rewrite
only the MakeMove, UnMakeMove, it stops them using the entire code as the basis
of another program.

I must say the idea of dozens of Crafty clones at the next World Championship is
a daunting thought.  I think it would ruine the event.

Just a suggestion.

What do you all think!
