As if I didn't have enough hobbies already, my brain decided I should give backgammon a go. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos yesterday, and today I installed GNU Backgammon, knowing it will wipe the floor with me. I put it in the tutor mode, and after being told my move was bad every time I looked at the hint and did what it said.

Then, on its 4th move, gnubg doubled, and the hint told me my position is already so bad I should give up this game 

#backgammon #gnubg

Does anyone know if the training dataset for the ML weights shipped with #gnubg at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnubg.git/log/gnubg.weights is available from anywhere?

And, if not, is the #FSF going to exclude gnubg from #GNU? (It would be the right thing to do, short of obtaining and shipping the dataset as gnubg's preferred form of modification, under a #freesoftware license.)
