he can certainly require a statement that it is based on his work; in fact nearly all free licences, the gpl included, require the original copyright notice to be preserved and the gpl even requires the interactive start of the program to declare copyright information. he can require methinks "if the program generates output of any kind it must include prominently within its output a statement that this program is based on my work" whilst remaining dfsg-free (although potentially less useful for chess tournaments of any kind, if they require strict output from chess programs and don't allow comments), and he can definitely require to appear in "all supporting documentation" (again the gpl does this). --phouchg "For a price I'd do about anything, except pull the trigger: for that I'd need a pretty good cause" -- Queensryche, "Revolution Calling" PGP 5.0 key (0xE024447449) at http://cif.rochester.edu/~jpt/pubkey.txt
