You're sure? A lot of truths? You imagine?
It's all conjecture and opinion Graham.
I really find it sad the length people go to prevent the truth from coming out!
Maybe court is the only way to settle this issue afterall?
Very Sad Indeed!
There appears to be something fishy going on here, and it stinks to high heaven!
There is no bait. And now there is no debate. Are you happy with this result?David Dahlem wrote:I agree, old and stale fish bait does stink.Terry McCracken wrote:Graham Banks wrote:Nice first post and a lot of truths in there I'd imagine.

[/code]To this I might add if one line of code in a chess program licensed under GPL is found to identical of open source free program then GPL license is null and void.
All of the basic concepts of writhing a chess program have been open source and free for decaded now and any chess program who tries to use them in a copyright license like GPL is out and out thieft. You can not copyright someone elses code and has been made public.
Now realizing this how can you create a chess program not using any of the learned routines that make a chess program?
I thing that most of the noise made here is by a bunch of jealous old and/or young men who do not have the capability to do any better. There moto it if you can beat them then yell 'CHEAT".

If the license is incompatible with the GPL, then probably. But if you indeed meant _free_, then the license probably is compatible with the GPL. Licenses that are incompatible with the GPL are ones that place restrictions on derivative works that are incompatible with the copyleft inherent in the GPL.Bill Rogers wrote:To this I might add if one line of code in a chess program licensed under GPL is found to identical of open source free program then GPL license is null and void.
You can not copyright an idea, only an expression of an idea. Patents protect ideas. Copyrights protect the actual works.All of the basic concepts of writhing a chess program have been open source and free for decaded now and any chess program who tries to use them in a copyright license like GPL is out and out thieft.
That's true. But you can use it in a GPL project, unless it's incompatible with the GPL's copyleft.You can not copyright someone elses code and has been made public.
Dang. I thought you were going to be polite this time. If that's your feeling, fine. But I do not think the GPL means what you think it means.I thing that most of the noise made here is by a bunch of jealous old and/or young men who do not have the capability to do any better.

Are you saying there is something very fishy going on because vas's program is stronger than it ought to be?Terry McCracken wrote:Graham Banks wrote:Nice first post and a lot of truths in there I'd imagine.
