I also uploaded a stockfish executable supporting the tablebases :

You will have to set the UCI parameters to the tablebases directory.

Sigh... the download is an executable without source. This is a GPL violation....

The license for the generator is GPLv2. The probing code is released without restrictions. So anyone wanting to add support for these tables to his/her engine is free to do so.
Which engines have added support for these tablebases?
