I hope I was in time pointing out the legal risk in order to prevent that.

There was an element of risk, and the quickest and easiest way for me to mitigate my risk was to take it down.

It will not be going back up and I will not be responding to any requests.

No. It just felt like the right thing to do.

I m sure that i have seen this houdidit chess engine source on github months ago .why wouldn't someone try to find its original date of uploading there ?

and i have also seen it playing on fics or lichess bots where in description it says it is stockfish fork to play similar as houdini 6. thats why it is renamed as houdidit instead of houdini

i m a chess lover not a programmer who constantly searches for android chess engine and play tournament in mobile.
