Originally, I wrote it for inclusion with crafty. But it's
actually my code. Nothing to be pround of anyway, it's a 5
liner of perl, the longest thing about is the extensive
commentary, and actually, I do not care about licenses at
all. It's just free.

GPL is fine with me and it's really my invention.
It dates from the time when crafty was the only program
supporting the DGT by means of a command line driver. But
you had to look up the console each time the engine moved.
That annoyed me, so I wrote a patch against crafty to call
an external tool to add accoustic move output.
dgtdrv (first version) was actually an upgraded version of
crafty's driver. dgtdrv2, what we speak about here, is
entirely different completely rewritten from scratch. They
merely share the command set and calling syntax.
PS: Yes, I did play crafty on the bare console. ;) Using an
engine from the bare console is actually the main thing I
really like about xboard compared to UCI. (Otherwise, I
prefer UCI, but Stefan missed this point when he specified
the protocol. But one can pipe it through polyglot ;)
