What bothers me, besides the obvious PR stunt, is that they say this prediction is licensed. How can a prediction from software be protected by, I presume, patents? And if this can be protected without even verifying which predictions actually work, what's to stop someone spitting out millions of random, untested predictions just in case they can claim ownership later when one of them is proven to work?
