![]() ![]() ![]() NB There is no restriction on charging for such software (hence the expression 'free as in speech, not free as in beer') but you need to make it clear to the customer what you are really charging them for.Ī non-chess example (with a link to chess) concerned the 'Samba' filesharing software developed by Dr Andrew Tridgell (the author of the Knightcap chess engine). The principle is that if you are going to use the work of others you a) acknowledge their work and b) 'pay it forward' by making your work available to others. If the software is covered by a specific licence (eg Gnu Public Licence) it is a requirement to identify where the program came from. I assumed that was roughly what it was about: I wasn't sure (and I appreciate why it might be difficult to spell out) whether there was potentially a legal aspect here, or whether because it's open source, it might just be up to the customer to know better. ![]()
