The issue is you have those who will commercialize it, which actually I have no problem with, in all sincerity, but rather the blatant lies attached claiming it's their own code with just "ideas" from other sources. It is disheartening and very discouraging.
NO OFFENSE INTENDED but how often IF EVER have you released the actual source code of your compiles
A source code allways included yes
the original Decemberists one ,
Never ( to my knowledge ) have you included the modified code of the posted compile
hardly in keeping with the spirit of open source or Ippolit really so why the pontification in your post ?
Every "official" build I have released does include the original source code. Well, because they are pretty much exact copy of the source. This was already
discussed over a year ago. All, I mean all the other compilers were modifying the engine's play, which is not done with builds @ chess.cygnitec.com --
they are default builds as the developers intended. Those who understand the code know what this means.
I would say building binaries for both Windows and Linux, including the source, which has been done for every single IvanHoe release, generating its tablebases, and hosting them along is quite keeping with the open-source spirit.
To the issue of not wanting to produce a build much stronger, which am sure a couple people out there possess, and without naming names, you can see why one would be discouraged to do so -- plus, too many whiners and complainers.
