Re: Alpha Release of Python3 Extension Module

[Mark Higgins]

This looks exciting!  From an open source license perspective - if I import this Python package into my commercial Python software, does that force me to open source my software? I’m confident I do not have to do that if I call gnubg as an external service.  On May 25, 2025, at 1:43 AM, DAVID REAY <dr323...@falmouth.ac.uk> wrote:  Dear GNU Backgammon Developers, I'm writing to share the alpha release of the Python extension module that wraps the GNU Backgammon neural network evaluation engine.  It is now available on PyPI: 📦 PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gnubg/ 📖 Documentation: https://gnubg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ I’ve taken care to attribute Joseph Heled and the original authors in the source and license: AUTHORS file: https://github.com/reayd-falmouth/gnubg-nn-pypi/blob/main/AUTHORS.md Copyright notice: https://github.com/reayd-falmouth/gnubg-nn-pypi/blob/84b814f9b9152526bdead640770643f2600fad75/src/gnubg/gnubgmodule.cpp#L1-L23 Due to persistent HTTP 500 errors on Savannah, I created a GitHub mirror of the gnubg-nn repo here for stability and accessibility: 🔗 https://github.com/reayd-falmouth/gnubg-nn I hope that’s OK, but please let me know if there are any licensing or hosting concerns.
