That was the other main reason i was interested in buying it. It appeared to be done very stylishly as kind of a information manager meant more for study. I was am curious how it worked and felt.

If Chess Insight uses Stockfish....then Chess Insight must be released under a GPL V3 license too.
Therefore your should provide a link to your project source code (at least on request).
