By giving proper credits where it is due, you will earn more respect.

I am the only person in the world that you can trust.

Now, I just need you to trust me. The Scofield 3'success is entirely due to my hard work.

Scofield 3 engine is not a GNU engine, so you won't see the source code, ever!

Not true, I dont even know you as a person.

I do not think that Scofield 3 is entirely original, so it is wrong to claim that it is entirely due to your hard work.

I do not want to see the source code.

Scofield 3 and Rybka 2.3.2a must be very strong programs if they play Topalov's moves. Shredder 10 and Toga II 3.1.2SE don't play Topalov's star move 12.Nxf7!

Which success? Noone is interested in a clone of a clone. Telling here something about your hard word is very disrespectful against every engineauthor who made an engine by his own.

The least things we need are Strelka clones and wannabe engineauthors.

I fear that people cant understand what you are saying. I fear we must prepare the audience with some ethical basics at first. <sigh>

Is Scofield 3 just for Linux or will it work on Windows?

There is a windows version, it`s called Strelka. Or better try the original Rybka 1 Beta.
