To the GNU Chess development team, I would like to know whether it's allowed to redistribute GNU Chess along with a third party GUI application to play chess. Since the GNU Chess engine would be started as a separate process and communication handled through standard input/output pipes, I believe it could be considered a separate work independent of the GUI application, as suggested by the FSF: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation and hence the GPL would not be applied to the GUI interface application. Please correct me if this is not the intent of GNU Chess' development team! Cheers, Alex
