Answers.Text: Hi, Thanks for that link but I am still concerned about the license, for example `cburnett` pieces have  `Apache License 2.0` .https://github.com/LexLuengas/chessnut-pieces/blob/master/LICENSE.txt  it says
  `A permissive license whose main conditions require preservation of copyright and license notices..`  does that mean I have to add some kind of license file in my app?

Answers.Text: @beginner yes, you would have to include in your app a copy of the Apache 2.0 license text (i.e., the file LICENSE.txt in that repository) AND also a copy of the copyright notice (which is in file COPYRIGHT.txt). You would also have to state it if you change the piece sets. You can do all this in an "About" screen that can be accessed through the "Settings" button in your app. If you write "about:licensing" on Firefox, you can see an example of such a screen. You can ask questions about licensing on https://opensource.stackexchange.com/ .
