At the moment I am undecided as to how much of the toolkit source should be
released.  I will likely delay my decision on this until the programming effort
is completed and the Big Paper has been written.  My main reason for this is
that I simply do not have the capability to answer even a small fraction of the
support request e-mail that would be sure to come, just as has come in the past
for other chess source I've released.

On the other hand, a big motivator for the Symbolic project is to show how a
cognitive search is a viable alternative to a traditional A/B search, and this
is going to take a lot of documentation including at least some source and
plenty of search narratives.  I'll be uploading some of this to my website along
with a FAQ; this will have to suffice until the Big Paper is published.
