Are there different versions of Igo? KCC Igo, AI Igo? If so is Igo and
open source engine that is being used as a base for others?

Congrats though!

The list price in Japan is closer to $100 than $39.

This is my Japanese product (AI Igo version 15):
http://www.ifour.co.jp/product/aiigo15/ and you can see it lists for 13,440
yen (about $110).  The other strong programs have similar prices.  His
royalty is more than $1 per copy.

Since Go4++ hasn't participated in a competition recently, it's probably not
#1.  KCC Igo is the best, based on Gifu results.
