Hello All, I am considering packaging Gaviota chess tablebase files and probing code for Debian released under this MIT license: https://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/license
The chess tablebase files are generated by the Gaviota Engine whose license is clearly not DFSG compatible. However, the author is releasing the generated database files under the MIT license. Is the MIT license for these database files DFSG compatible? There is an accompanying probing code (used for reading the database files) which is also available under the MIT license. https://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/Home/endgame-tablebases-1 """ The Gaviota Tablebases can be probed from your own program (engine or interface). The code needed to do this has been released under the liberal MIT license, so basically anybody can use it with almost no restrictions. The tablebase files themselves, compressed (*.gtb.cp?) and uncompressed (*.gtb) are also distributed under the MIT license. """ https://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/Home/endgame-tablebases-1 I maintain a package pychess which wants to use these database files.
