Hi, I am developing a commercial backgammon training app and am
considering using GNU Backgammon for move analysis in version 2.

Before proceeding I wanted to ask the community's view on the following
architecture:,

My app would call GnuBG indirectly via bgweb-api, a third party Docker
container that wraps GnuBG as a local HTTP service. My app sends a board
position over HTTP and receives move evaluations back. No GnuBG source code
or binaries are compiled into or bundled with my app itself.,

My question is: does the community consider this out-of-process HTTP
architecture to be a GPL derivative work, or does the separation between my
app and GnuBG via a network boundary mean my app has no GPL obligations?,

I understand this is not a substitute for formal legal advice, but any
insight from people who know the project well would be genuinely helpful.,

 Thank you for your time.,

Kind regards


Peter Kotwa
