I think 'legal' derivatives being shown on ratings lists is fine as long as it is clearly shown what they are a derivative of. So that nobody is lead to belive they are an original engine. eg. FF2 should be shown as a member of the Stockfish family.

If the developer of a top engine would be under the impression that only his opinion counts, and that the other 99% of Chess programmers should be ignored or shut up, it is a good thing that this misunderstanding is now corrected.
