They are a sketchy company, from the over-zealousness to defend their "IP" to the price they demand for their yearly software, to the creepy vibe their articles about young female players have. So no sympathy from me, go stockfish.

People are never just ONE type of awful. It's almost always a package deal.

Im looking at the diff, they doubled the size of NN and added themselves as additional authors in addition to the original authors and released source when requested. I.e. they gave credit to original devs, I don't understand where they violated anything. NN weights is data not code.

Yes but read the article. It's the way the "author" presented the work as novel that's indefensibly hucksterish

It's also just an appalling piece of software. I wish the market for competitive chess were bigger so someone was incentivised to dethrone them.
