@DKappe @AndrewGrant really RELAX, this is a chess engines fans and authors forum, not Afghanistan. I love you all for what you are doing to feed my hobby.
If I say something wrong is because I'm Italian, not native English speaking and it's difficult for me to follow and react to all your legal confabulations
Best regards, Alex

New paradox: If Albert Silver illegally distributes a Dkappe network, will Dkappe:
A) Defend Albert by posting "hot-takes" about copyright law that contradict his others postings
B) Call it an open violation, when in all previous cases he refuses to be anything but a milk-toast fence sitter
I guess I’ll have to repeat myself yet again. Happy to do it in the hopes that you will eventually learn.
1. Violating a license is generally not illegal. It is a matter of contract law, not criminal law.
2. If someone violates a license, they should suffer the consequences.
3. The distribution of the corrected FF2 adheres to both the letter and spirit of the GPLv3. There is nothing to defend.

Re: Stockfish: Our lawsuit against ChessBase
Very good. Breaking a contract is not against the law or “illegal,” although it is governed by contract law. Clear enough? You may want to go with the OED or a more substantial dictionary.AndrewGrant wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:54 amhttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/illegalAndrewGrant wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 7:56 amNew paradox: If Albert Silver illegally distributes a Dkappe network, will Dkappe:dkappe wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:09 pmWhat is CF?

Copyright infringement is certainly illegal.

Re: Stockfish: Our lawsuit against ChessBase
A lawyer of my acquaintance expressed it this way: if you can go to jail for it, it’s illegal.

Re: Stockfish: Our lawsuit against ChessBase
If you can go to jail for it, it is criminal and illegal. If it breaches tort, contract, or property law, it is still certainly illegal. Arguing semantics isn't doing any favors for ChessBase at this point.

Re: Stockfish: Our lawsuit against ChessBase
Mercifully, the supposed lawsuit isn’t being tried in this kangaroo court but in an actual court. What we say here (other than utterances made by SF project members) doesn’t matter one way or another.
