Re: Official GPL ... webpage about it available?
Frank, Robert doesn't infringe GPL, because the Robbo* Ippolit* code he's accused to have as the base for Houdini is not GPL but public domain:Frank Quisinsky wrote:Hi there,

So, technically, this is a clone, yes, but not an illegal one, although most tourney managers will refuse to include yet another clone in their tournament, however strong it might be.Q. How copyright IPPOLIT?
A. Publicdomain (workers), only.

Re: Official GPL ... webpage about it available?
Hi Julien,
oh a misinformation by myself.
I read often that Fire and the predecessors are under GPL.
I remember Robert Houdart say thanks to Crafty, Stockfish, IPP people in a sentence on his own webpage. With others words he used Stockfish, Crafty and IPP ideas.
Stockfish is GPL or I have a second misinformation?
Crafty too ...
Fruit too ...

Either way, the GPL deals with code, not with ideas. I have no idea why this distinction seems to be so hard for so many people, but they're very different.

Houdini does NOT contain Stockfish code.

Do yourself a favor, and stop spreading your nonsense about Houdini.

How is the proof?
After the message by the Thinker programmer Houdini is 1:1 Ivanhoe.
I am sure that you added own ideas in Houdini and this ideas must be good but the basic of Houdini is one of the IvanHoe versions.

The proof is in my source code.
All the rest, including the claim that Houdini is Ivanhoe, is your nonsense.
Have a nice week-end,
Robert

Houdini does NOT contain any Ippolit code.
Contrary to the other open-source engines mentioned above, even if it did, it wouldn't make any difference with regards to the legal side of the issue (which is the subject of this topic).
