An observation: ChessBase has an one program on one disc policy. Exception is
DJ8 with DJ8ZX and DJ8XY. The remaning engines included has always been
freewares.
Also, CB likes to release in the eng-format, only exception was Shredder up till
version 8, which also included the UCI version.
BTW, Toga is free, and I don't think anything would hinder CB in including it on
their discs (could be wrong here), except it might be an advertice for Fruit,
and it probably wouldn't be too good if it beats Fritz too often!

I thinks it's great like is, Fruit being sold by Fruitchess and Toga/Gambit
Fruit being under "constant" developement!! Keeping up the competition :-)))

Henrik
