This is taken from that site:

Licence policy on computer-computer games and test results

As part of a general and emerging policy to reduce the influence of
computer-computer autoplayer results as the
measure of any chess program (we think they lead to the development of fast and
boring chess engines with
minimal chess knowledge, and that such engines may be very good at playing each
other, but don't give
satisfactory games with humans), we expressly forbid the playing of game
sequences with CSTal II, and
publication of the results, or inclusion in so-called rating lists. This
'forbiddance' takes the form of our not
granting a licence to use the program in this way. We are also concerned that
the auto232 protocols and
programs are in some way broken, and that other programmers have found ways of
exploiting the auto232
protocols to artificially raise their results.
