Taken from the copyright notice of the source: Files that are copyrighted by respective authors : Book files (performance.bin and varied.bin): Marc Lacrosse Book files (Elo2400.bin and gm2600.bin): Pascal Georges Database files : Pascal Georges # Comment: These files have been removed from the sources # Oliver Korff Crafty engine : Robert Hyatt (thanks to him for authorizing the bundling of Crafty with Scid) # Comment: Crafty has been removed from the sources, it comes of non-free # in debian # Oliver Korff Before re-using the files above for *any* purpose please contact respective authors first. The base64 encoded data of the piece set "eboard" was generated using files taken from chessx, modified for use in Scid with Gimp, and seems to have its origins in the eboard project(probable authors : Pulga --> Felipe Bergo ,Gorgonian --> Phillip Watts ). Please refer to this last project for more details (both are GPL projects). # These files are strictly GPL # Oliver Korff The only files in Scid NOT distributed under the GPL (since they have a different author and copyright, but they are freely distributable) are the Zlib library (see the src/zlib directory), a Tcl package for sending email using SMTP (see the tcl/ezsmtp directory), and endgame tablebase decoding source code (see the src/egtb directory). # Comment: Zlib and tablebase code has been removed from the sources # Oliver Korff Please note: although there is no explicit copyright notice in the tablebase decoding code, all rights are reserved by its author Eugene Nalimov and you should ask for permission before using it. He has granted permission for its distribution in Scid, and out of courtesy I ask that if you make use of the tablebase code outside of Scid, please ask Eugene first. His email address is at the end of the file src/egtb/probe.txt.
