Selling Chess engines?!

[jdart]

Arasan is under the MIT license, so he's allowed to do this.

I don't care about the money, but I do care about that

Same.

Well, I might feel somewhat miffed that someone else makes money of something I provide for free out of my spare time, but if I honestly didn't want that the only solution is to not release my program, and I don't want that even more.

Anyway, I've sent the author a (polite) e-mail asking him to follow the GPL with respect to Jazz. We'll see where that goes.

Today I came across this interesting app in the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nginespack

It has bundled all UCI engines for Android with NO Chess board or UI and is being sold for $1.29!!

"Free updates forever." <-- Classic!

Developer's site: http://juanluisfb.blogspot.in/

Good find. The crook is selling Komodo, Stockfish, Gaviota, Arasan, and others.

Are you sure this person has been prosecuted and judged?

Otherwise it's not so mature or wise to use the word you did...

He is explicitly violating the Gaviota license

I do not need a judge to confirm it. I will leave to others what type of adjective is more appropriate for this person.

Mature and wise? Prosecuted and judged? I am confused.
