Ruben Carlo Benante <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Xadreco, the chess engine.
System name: xadreco
Type: GNU

Description:
Xadreco, the chess engine.

The home page, and source code can be dowloaded at:
http://www.geocities.com/pag_sax/xadreco/

Xadreco is a chess engine that run on your machine and play a game against you, 
and it can be used with the front-end XBoard 
(http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html)

The project should improve the tactical/strategical play of the engine, include 
an opening book and ending book, and what else could lead to a very strong 
chess engine playing.

Also, the engine should be used to help you analyze your games, and it should 
understand all the XBoard/Winboard communication protocol.

It is one goal of the project to use standard C language, that could compile on 
Unix or 32-bit Windows, and so, can be used with XBoard for Unix or WinBoard 
for Windows.


Other Software Required:
The source code can be compiled using gcc, with the GNU-DEV-C++ compiler 
(http://www.bloodshed.net/).
It was wrote in C language, and the includes used are:
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

Other Comments:
I would like to ask if it was correct to say, as I said in the source-code, and 
if is still a GNU/GPL licence, when I put the sentence:

//If you redistribute it and/or modify it, you need to
//cite the original source-code and author name:
//Ruben Carlo Benante.
//email: address@hidden
//web page: http://www.geocities.com/pag_sax/xadreco/
//address:
//Federal University of Pernambuco
//Center of Computer Science
//PostGrad Room 7-1
//PO Box 7851
//Zip Code 50670-970
//Recife, PE, Brazil
//FAX: +55 (81) 2126-8438
//PHONE: +55 (81) 2126-8430  x.4067

I know that the main objective of the GPL is to protect the freedom of the 
programmer, and that the GPL is not against the author. So, I believe that only 
to cite the authors name will give some credit to who invented the source code, 
even if it was modified. Thank you very much. Ruben.
