Of course? If you need GPL software (modified) to obtain them, how can they be outside the purview of the GPL license? Shouldn't it be possible to sell them back, as stated in the quoted text?dkappe wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 9:06 pmOf course the network weights are not covered by the GPL but by whatever license ChessBase applies to it.The people to whom you sold copies of GPL software are just as free as you are to make copies and sell them for whatever price they feel is right, including a price equal to zero.
The same way documents created with Libre Office aren't covered by GPL or programs compiled with GCC aren't automatically GPL'ed. GPL applies to software not to things created with it.

Without getting into a long legal wrangling, it’s analogous to documents or spreadsheets written with GPL software, or even code that is compiled with a GPL’d compiler. They aren’t covered by the GPL.Ozymandias wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 12:43 pmOf course? If you need GPL software (modified) to obtain them, how can they be outside the purview of the GPL license?

It's a bad analogy. In addition to what I already explained, you need this particular GPL software to make any use of the weights, at all.dkappe wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 6:04 pmWithout getting into a long legal wrangling, it’s analogous to documents or spreadsheets written with GPL software, or even code that is compiled with a GPL’d compiler.
