I wouldn't just buy it, I would PREFER it.   Every computer chess engine I
know of today uses a standard protocol (either UCI, winboard or both) and
can be used in different interfaces, some of which are commercial.)

And if you have a really cool interface that can be used with ANY (GTP) go
engine,  it makes the product even more attractive to a buyer  because it's
like you are buying 2 different products for the price of one.
