Hi Thomas, I had some emails with someone who knows everything about GPL. So the conclusion is: You are not allowed to add nalimov code with the decompression code of Andrew Kadatch to Toga, because Eugine does not allow that his coded is released under GPL whereas you are forced to release Toga under GPL because it's code base is Fruit which is GPL. Fabien who has still all the rights on his source could switch to another type of license which would allow him to use the Nalimov code - well, if he wants too. So the only possibility for you to use the nalimov tablebases in Toga would be to write the access routines yourself. Of course you must add that code then to your source package because the base of your program is GPL which forces you to always give away the source when you give away a copy of your program. I hope this is not to complicate... Greets, Thomas
