Well I disagree. Note that we even added quite a couple of GTP commands
specifically for view.pike. 

But, of course, this discussion is pointless. If someone tries to
stretch the limits of GPL (and writing a program that depends on many
details of the internal data representations of a GPL program _is_
stretching the limits in the opinions of many), then he should rather
consult a lawyer himself, as Gunnar said, instead of asking us.

(I am not at all implying that Xavier is trying to stretch the limits with
regards to GNU Go.)
