Anyhow I have to add that the author did a good amount of work above the original sources so that it is a derived and independent engine by all means.
And because it publishes the sources it is 100% legal.
Good news. And a big thanx to Jose for compiling!
So I will do a testrun for my LS-ratinglist, when the testrun of Stockfish 140129 is finished...If all works correctly, the result of Don 1.0b should go online next tuesday...if it is strong enough (at least 30% scoring against the engines of the LS-top10-tournament is necessary)...
In a little preview testrun on my old non-SSE-PC, the x64-DON is around 30-40% slower than Stockfish 140129 x64, but the depth (displayed by LittleBlitzerGUI) is nearly the same...interesting. But it seems, that DON is measureable weaker than Stockfish 140129 (35%-65% scoring in this small head-to-head-match).

As long as the "author" does not clean up his act, links to software that violated licenses should not be allowed. A derivative of Glaurung (as the author first claimed) that do not contained GPL license is not ok. To make things worse, now there is an attempt to erase its origins, and it is more than "questionable" under the charter of this forum.

Mod Team.
Clearly an abuse of moderation.
An authentic authoritarianism.
you have deleted a link to my blog completely legal.

Although it is not my problem.
simply abuse.
If I deleted a link by mistake that did not have a link to the DON software, I am sorry (I do no think so, but I make mistakes). You can re-post it and there is no need to claim abuse or tyrannical behavior. If it truly contained a link to the DON software, please don't re-post it.
