You forgot my name and the name of team Komodo on the list above...
As a pretty reminder, here is what a 'good angel' had left @github forever to see.
( everyone can look at it and compare to the SF version of the right time in history, only intentionally blind ones
won't see the source theft)

Re: Stockfish: Our lawsuit against ChessBase
Oh dear, so now there’s some more conditions (unspecified) about the data? And there’s a list that is “named?”Luecx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 1:30 pmYour post might make people think that FF1 was original in the first place.dkappe wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 10:22 am- FF2 runs on a slightly modified version of SF.

See github,Luecx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 10:11 am It feels like many people here dont understand the difference between whats legal and what is allowed. The legal part is decided by official courts where as what is allowed is decided by the chess community. Especially the unique engine authors, tcec etc.
According to common chess community standards, it is not allowed to:
- steal code
- not correctly credit other people if parts of it are used
- using other peoples data when training NN's
- ...
I do not care if FF is actually legal or not, all i know is what they did is not allowed by common chess community standards and they need to face the consquences for that.
- Stockfish is credited prominently in the marketing copy of FF2. (I suspect they did that because Stockfish is a selling point, but that’s just a guess.) It’s on the box.
- FF2 was trained on data generated using FF1. Not hard to believe. I generated a ton of data using Bad Gyal, Toga, Ice, etc., though not nearly as much as Albert.
So there you go. Common chess community standards(tm) adhered to. You are now free to enjoy FF2 without guilt. You’re welcome.
Changing 3 lines in stockfish does not make it a new engine.
And the list i named of people in this community judging what is allowed or not ("Especially the unique engine authors, tcec etc.") did not name you...
Tell you what. You have a think and when you’ve come up with a complete list of these “standards,” you get back to me.

1) Whether a NN is a computer program, and the weights are the corresponding machine code.
2) Whether this program counts as linked with a conventional executable when the latter uses the output of the NN it interprets for further calculation
3) What would count as the 'source code' of the NN in the GPL sense.
It will be interesting what the court decides on this.
I can imagine an outcome where (1) and (2) are decided as 'yes, it does', and (3) would be the set of training positions.

I think the NN being copyrightable question would be likely to bring lots of big players running in a common law country. Also not sure what the “right” position is from a FOSS perspective.
