Ok. But one more question?  If i start writing a Gothic Chess program without
asking permission from Ed Trice, am i illegal?
If the answer to the above question is yes, i don't understand it and i don't
agree with it. I mean what if he answers me no, i don't allow you to write such
a program! This violates my right to be free and do whatever i want without
annoying others of course.
