I don't know whether I would sell my engine because I must first increase its
strength by 500 Elo points. I feel like trying a rewrite from scratch,
targeting simplicity, speed and search stability.
I think any cloner already has enough open source, so publishing more strong
open source may not matter a lot. However, because at least 25% of fairly strong
engines may have too many routines copied and adapted from open source, I
foresee a time in future when amateur tournament organizers shall limit
participants to engines with open source.
