If it is copied protected in another gui then it is not a winboard engine by my
definition.

My definition is that a winboard engine is an engine that can be used under
winboard without a need for another exe file like polyglot.

If the engine that customers use cannot be used under winboard because of copy
protection then it is not a winboard engine even if the programmer implemented
the winboard protocol.
