Maybe this is one of the grey areas. If I read the description correctly,
there is one change to gnugo to make it a dll, and then a separate
front end uses the dll.
The question is, is a front end using gnugo as a dll more integrated than a
front
end using gnugo via gmp or gtp ?
Eg could get round the restriction by making a replacement dll which does
speaks to gnugo via gtp, and the front end is none-the-wiser.
