like Charles already pointed out: nobody should be treated different just
because he is stronger or weaker. This would look medieval. Like Louis XIV -
l'état c'est moi.

Also it's no longer true. The initial beta of Rybka can be downloaded at
WBEC-Ridderkerk. So this version is now definitely the strongest freeware.
