Hello Christian, thanks for your reply. Indeed, all code is released under the GPLv3 license (repo is linked in the original message).
As for the changes, most of the work has been about removing code, dependencies and globals. Lots of them. Currently the gnubg repo includes about 370 source files (.c and .h) not counting GLib, which is used extensively everywhere, and other libraries. This version has about 50 source files and no dependencies, it's just the playing engine and a simplified API to use it.
