Why not use Remi Coulom's library for opening books? It has all that stuff worked out for you. It's GPL, IIRC. I would prefer something like ACE's or a Berkeley license, but for teaching purposes GPL is very good. Now, his project is very large. But if you just use it as a black box that spits back opening moves, then it won't complicate your source.
