The U.S. Patent Office gives the following definition of what a patent will do for the person who owns it: "...exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States..." >you make a G.C. program? I guess it depends how loosely you want to interpret that definition. To me it says you can't make a program to play gothic chess without a license, regardless of whether you sell or distribute it. >you play the game? sth else? If you "play" a game, is that the same as "making" a game? Who knows. I'm sure some lawyer could make it seem equivalent. It is probably best to just avoid the whole situation, IMO.
