The records are retrieved from [1], but the website mention:
« The databases on this site are a service to the Go Community:"The
databases have been compiled by Jan van Rongen and are his
copyright. They can be distributed freely, as long as this
copyright statement is distributed with them. The databases
shall not be made part of any [non] commercially available
database collection of games of go without the written
permission of Jan van Rongen." »
1. Do you think Jan van Rongen actually owns some copyright on
those files (I am not sure if he played any of those games)
2. If Jan van Rongen owns some copyright, I am afraid the games
are non-free (are they).
