Hello,
can you please help me with the following license text from Crafty
chess program? I think its BSD-like or MIT-like license. I would like
to create Fedora package for it. Its very nice and strong chess
engine. It should be ok (its distributed with Debian) but I would like
to have official explicit confirmation. I do not know which "license
string" should I put in the RPM spec file.
Thank you.
The license can be found in the source distribution in the file main.c.
