I should point out that you would well within your rights to use GNU Backgammon source code for your product, rebrand it without GNU Backgammon in the name, but do so in accordance with the GPLv3. The issue I am bringing forth to this list is whether the name "GNU Backgammon" should be associated with other products that use the application as a marketing/advertising platform. I'm not against the authors making money, that is perfectly fine. It is a matter of public perception regarding the name/affiliation. The first thing I noted when I ran the official release was a popup in the upper left of the screen for Ask.com . My first impression wasn't so good when I saw the in-game ad for the first time. -- Michael Petch CApp::Sysware Consulting Ltd.
