toga2 has no egbb tablebases support, because of missing library.

This library is publically availabe and I would decide to package it if
I can clear my legal license questions.

I have been using it privately, but now I know somebody else is using it also.
So I will try to package it for debian. It will be another package and a
library (I haven`t done this before), so please be patient.

I have also filed a bug in the debian, that I will close if I will commit a
egbb package soon (ITP). You can subscribe to informations to this bug via
the debian qa system at: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/toga2.html

I have asked Daniel to clear the license questions that I have, see below.

Thanks for the request,

Oliver

Dear Daniel,

I am the debian packager of toga in debian GNU/Linux, a free Linux
distribution. We care a lot to keep the legal details of our distribution
clear of trouble. As I understand it, you are sharing the source code of your
endgame tablebaseevaluation with the community of chess programmers.

I would like to package the dlls for our distribution, because I have been
asked for it by others and am privately enjoing to play with endgame
tablebases. But I must be safe on the legal details for it.

One possibility would be to distribute it under the GNU Public License. The
reason for this is best described by Tord (Developer of glaurung):
http://www.glaurungchess.com/faq.html Position 3,4,5

I can also package it, If you decide to keep the License in another way, but I
would have to know how you want it to be kept.

Thanks for your good work,

Oliver

Was any conclusion reached regarding the licensing of this library?
