What makes Salford Systems' CART the only "true" CART?

Salford Systems' CART is the only decision tree based on the original code of Breiman, Friedman, Olshen, and Stone. Because the code is proprietary, CART is the only true implementation of this classification-and-regression-tree methodology. In addition, the procedure has been substantially enhanced with new features and capabilities in exclusive collaboration with CART's creators. While some other decision-tree products claim to implement selected features of this technology, they are unable to reproduce genuine CART trees and lack key performance and accuracy components. Further, CART's creators continue to collaborate with Salford Systems to refine CART and to develop the next generation of data-mining tools.
