Oakfoam uses caffe library.I did not ask, as I considered it the same
as using e.g. boost lihrary to not write special kind of maps, you do
not want to write your self.
Of cause the net definition and training is our own. Most of the code
would be linear algebra, if you would write it yourself, and you would
most probably use a library for this

I have been asked
Your page [ http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/rules.html ] says:
All the code in it that is in any way involved in move-generation
(i.e.
anything that causes the program to prefer one move to another)
or position evaluation must be unique among the entrants. Code
that is involved only in non-essential parts of the program,
such as input/output, or scoring the position after the game is
over, need not be unique. If two or more people want to submit
programs containing the same code, then the author of that code
shall decide which may enter.
Would it be acceptable for me to use a (non-Go-specific) neural
network package that I didn't write?
My immediate inclination is to say Yes. It's like using a compiler
that you didn't write. But I fear it may be more complicated than
that.
For now, the rule is that if you enter a KGS bot tournament using a
neural net that you did not write, your entry will be accepted, buy
you must specify what neural net you are using.
But I would like to discuss the issue, and accept the consensus of
this list. I have never used a neural net, and my understanding of
how they work is close to zero. I naively imagine it goes like
this: 1. You obtain a neural net, by buying one, downloading a
free one, or getting one from a colleague. 2. You install it on
your computer. 3. You configure it by setting some parameters. 4.
You specify how its board state representation will work (I have
very little idea about this). 5. You train it, maybe by feeding it
a large database of professional games. 6. You test the results.
Quite likely you realise it hasn't gone well, and redo from step
3. 7. You add a harness that attaches it to kgsGtp, and maybe to
some other programs.
I look forward to becoming better informed. I know that if someone
writes a praiseworthy program in say C, the creator of his C
compiler will deserve and expect none of the credit. I suspect
things may be different with neural nets.
