One possibility might be to post the source code of only about every 10th
generation of Crafty, or share the code once per year, and then only after
you've made changes. Still another possibility would be leave a few things
slighty broken in the shared code, so that Crafty clones can't proliferate with
impunity. They always play a few hundred points lower.

That way, the cutting edge Crafty, the REAL one, is always a moving target,
somewhat ahead of it brothers.

I think sharing the code is an admirable thing. However, I don't think there is
any obligation to share it in its strongest version. A slightly weakened version
should be enough to get any beginner started.
