If these (purely hypotetical, of course) unpublished in Strelka sources elements of Rybka are unimportant then the damage is already done. So publicising Rybka beta code wouldn't make more damage than is already done.
If they are important, then Strelka is not Rybka and V. Rajlich has not moral right to claim it his own.
Just speculation, of course. Please, do not understand me wrong -- I'm not interrested in reading Rybka sources. I'm not a programmer.

Moral sounds great from certain directions... but not from others.
