It seems that most of the programmers have no trustworthy authority. Note that I have no objection that all the programmers who release new program will have to give their source to trustworthy authority but I am afraid that it will be impossible to persuade programmers of Shredder,Fritz,Junior,Hiarcs,Chessmaster,Ktulu,Sjeng to do it. The only solution that I see is if there is going to be a new law that releasing a program without sending the source to some accepted authority is against the law and treated the same as piracy and if you even try to make money from it you will be treated the same as somebody who copy programs by piracy and sell them.
