Chessbase Liability in using a program to generate $$$

Post by kgburcham »

When Chessbase decides to sign a contract with a new Chess Program Author, you would think its lawyers would be consulted. You would think those lawyers would advise Chessbase to get the program author to sign legal papers stating that his program code is 100% legal and does not break any existing GPL code copy laws.
I would think that Convecta would also do this.
I would think that Vas has already told Chessbase and Convecta (before the release) that Rybka does not break any copyright laws.
