Hi Michel,

The license is $1 for one year, for those who are making NON COMMERCIAL
versions. I am sure you understand that if Microsoft wanted to make a Gothic
Chess program, I would reserve the right to charge them a little more :)

If you are talking about releasing the source code to a Gothic Chess program
that you create, that would be permitted, but those building from it would need
a license once their programs are compiled.

You can publish Gothic Chess games.

You can publish Gothic Chess opening books.

All those who are interested in creating a Gothic Chess program, feel free to
contact me at GothicChessInfo@aol.com -- I promise to compiled a FAQ today and
put it on the website.
