They say "game sequences", so you can't just pick an arbitrary position, and play 10 moves showing how well/poorly it plays from that position. I wonder how many consecutive positions constitutes a "game sequence"? Two? One? :-) .... :-( Frankly, I think the restriction is overly severe, but software developers can choose their license terms. People tend not to purchase products with licenses that they don't like. <shrug> Oxford is not the first company to refuse to allow computer-computer result reporting, and at least Chris has takes some time to justify it on his web site, so we know that this is a conscious decision, instead of some utter stupidity (for the latter, refer to the license for Borland Pascal 7.0).
