Sounds like a very interesting project. > Since the poker-eval library is published under the GNU GPL and I do not > want to publish my source code I have a few questions concerning the use > of the poker-eval library and the Java bindings: Could you please explain why you do not want to share this software ? > Assuming that the poker-eval library is part of my computer poker > program > > - is it legal to NOT publish my source code if I use my program for the > sole purpose of exemplifying some theoretical concepts I elaborate on in > my thesis? > > - is it legal to NOT publish my source code if I enter a computer poker > competition with my program? Note that the GNU GPL does not force you to publish your code. It forbids you to use the library as part of a proprietary software. > - is it possible to get the poker-eval library under the GNU LGPL?

There are a number of alternate software providers who can help you build proprietary software. I sincerly hope you will consider sharing the pleasure of coding with us. If you chose another way, I wish you all the best.
