I've decided to make Prophet available for download as an open source engine ( http://chessprogramming.org/prophet ) Before I do, I need to decide on what license to distribute it under. I haven't put a great deal of thought into this, but basically I don't want someone to take it, change a few lines, and call it their own. I won't mind if someone uses it and modifies it, as long as it's "known" that it originated from Prophet. Further, I don't want to compete against Prophet derivative in a chess tournament, not that that's much of a threat to anyone right now. I'd be interested in hearing what licenses other open source engines are using and any issues that may have arisen, or if you wish you had distributed it differently. -- James
