Errors in GNU opening lib

Hello,

I have GNU-Chess 3.21 with an opening library a bit longer then 50.000 bytes.
As me too, I'm writing a chess program, I included a procedure that also reads
GNU openings. I recognized about 30-50 different errors in the opening book which
I corrected nearly all. I received the opening book several times through several
sources, so I think it's the "official" one.

So, didn't you know of the errors, dose GNUChess ignore wrong moves, and are you
interested in the corrected version ?

By the way, is there a specification that describes how GNU Books have to be
written ?

Do I have to pass the COPYING File with the opening library if I include it in my
own Freeware chess program LASKER, or if I include a converted version of it.
Or is it forbidden to give it along with my own program ?
