I have a question about Game Courier: is this publicly available software, as opposed to private or commercial?

Game Courier is private software. It is free to use for registered users of this site, but I have never released the source code to the public. What you can see when you use it is the HTML code it generates, not the PHP code it is written in.

In particular: if we wanted to set up a way for people to play Superchess against each other on the Superchess.nl website, would it be allowed to use Game Courier for this? Would that be technically feasible, and what are the requirements on the server? (i.e. which sofware packages should be supported? Only PHP?)

Game Courier is all PHP on the server side, and it makes use of some JavaScript on the client side. It is integrated with the MySQL user database of this website, and path names of this website are hardcoded into it. I expect it could be made to work on any other site with PHP and MySQL, but modifications would have to be made.

As for permission, we can negotiate terms privately if Superchess.nl is really interested in using Game Courier.
