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. http://www.craftychess.com/ ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/source/crafty-23.3.zip * Crafty, copyright 1996-2010 by Robert M.
