Hi Pascal,
it´s a pity that no friendly resolution of a useless conflict is possible.
That obviously can´t be helped for the moment. Sometimes minds just don´t fit,
even bright ones.
But it will be hard to prevent _anybody_ from using your code if you stick to
GPL. And if you go away from GPL
What D kirkby wrote at SF is worth reading :-)
Strange he does not mention all of it here.
Here is my answer :
Hi,
There are some lies in D Kirkby objections :
- on Scid-users mailing lists some people said I was the better placed for a
take over and a take over is better than letting the
So I will switch naming of my releases from scid-pg to scid as I have the
right to. As chessDB is a fork of Scid (2004), and until anybody else is
better placed than me to continue Scid, I request things to be strictly
separated : given Kirkby's attitude, I hope he'll be honest enough to
You are 100 % about GPL, and I will of course stick with it.
But understand my concern :
Kirkby massively renamed Scid files and put (C) with his name on files
he did not changed a single character.
He made his best to prevent me from working on Scid despite many users
would like me to continue

Betting ahead of myself there. I mean 15th December 2006 of course.

Selon Dr. David Kirkby [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
In fact Pascal *does* use code I wrote - which I have no objection at
all too.
(The line below appears in the first ChessDB/tcl/end.tcl)
Shane is NOT reponsible for bugs in ChessDB\n\n
Shane is NOT reponsible for bugs in Scid\n\n
Yes, I am ashamed.
Dear Dr Kirkby,
I am merely an user of Scid, and would like to ignore this daily
mudslinging, if it had not turned into such a daily deluge. I am
trying to take an impartial view. I know neither you or Pascal, and I
do not follow the details of your history - I give my personal work

PS : Let's stop this BS ? Or continue for another round ?
I think it should stop Pascal. I do not want another round. Just leave
it there.
Let us both shut about about this issue.
All the best,
David Kirkby

It is easy to find some examples, but not that much. And PGNs with solutions

This is because of this I had to find a workaround : even for the mate

Well, it's the first time I here about it, but I have ideas (although I am

1. Don't issue a make install, run scid from the compilation dir;

Dear Dr Kirkby,
I am, as I told you, mostly an user. Whatever small programs I write
are for my personal research and it is of rarely of use to most people
in the world and I would feel flattered if anyone would want to copy
my miserable code, and other people's lack of originality is not a
life
