How will you read them without Andrew Kadtach's decompression routine?

I also expect that a "clean room" build of a Nalimov EGTB reader would be very
hard to perform.

I would guess that without some sort of stupendous effort, you cannot make a
Nalimov EGTB reader that is free of copyright infringement.

Maybe the Konoval EGTB files will have a license that is not restrictive or hard
to obtain.
