And a CVS repository with a couple of fixes since 5.07, and bug
reporting address.
I haven't had a chance to look at Kirii's original bug report from August.
I'll check the code, but the change log makes reference to false draw
claims in KNNK do you have details? As fairly sure the KNNK check was
improved in 2003-02-11 to avoid claiming draws when an immediate wins is

Hi,
I just discovered that GNUChess apparently still has an active mailing
list :-)
I would like to announce that I have made a number of important bugfixes
and
enhancements for GnuChess 5.07 and have also made it more compliant
with the
xboard protocol (e.g. the recent memory command).
See these threads on the Winboard forum

Hi Simon,
Perhaps it would be a good idea to package a copyright notice inside
book_1.01.pgn.gz?
Thank you very much for the information.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,
What's the exact copyright info of GNU Chess openings book
(book_1.01.pgn.gz)? I found a note in the Debian package distribution
stating that this package is in the public domain, is this correct?
I would be grateful if someone could post the detailed copyright info of
this package, so that I could give credits to its creators when

Re: XBoard/Winboard 4.4.0 released

2009-09-06T11:42:24Z

In article <0dc5f911-f4d1-4039-a027-d2526 4e72...@i4g2000prm.googlegroup s.com>,
In a release tarball, it would be traditional to include a working configure
script. I ran automake. I ran autoconf. It's still not right. I don't know
what else to run.
Dear GNU,
There are too many autothingies. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the quick response.
OK, I'll just go ahead and try to integrate my GUI application with GNU
Chess. In fact, it is open source too: it is distributed under GPLv3 but
with a FLOSS additional permission clause that allows combining it with
selected open source licenses which unfortunately aren't compatible with

Re: GNU Chess redistribution licensing

Your understanding appears correct to me.
GNU Chess invoked as a separate process via the Winboard interface is
mere aggregation, and doesn't affect the licensing of other code
distributed with it in this fashion.
My understanding is that such distribution, from a licensing perspective
is the same as distribution GNU Chess itself.

To the GNU Chess development team,
I would like to know whether it's allowed to redistribute GNU Chess
along with a third party GUI application to play chess. Since the GNU
Chess engine would be started as a separate process and communication
handled through standard input/output pipes, I believe it could be
