You only have to get permission from Eugene to include and redistribute his code (you need that anyway) and grant an exception to link your GPL code with Eugenes code. The real issue is with freedom, i.e. Eugene's code is not free. Since it is used as a library and is only a minor and removable part of the chessengine I don't have much problems with that. My real problem is that I'm simply not getting permission from Eugene to redistribute his code. There isn't any license nor exception that can deal with that... -- GCP
