    Here comes a public domain BASIC chess program, with the complete
    sources:

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b5092xcx8q3a9q4/AAC4JqwYJPbb4aTEMi_r1mLIa?dl=0

    I found the program in the QB64 forum.

    Change the FUTURE2.BI into the future2.bi.

    Enjoy!!!!

    I don't see anything there that suggests this is in the public domain. Specifically, this line:

    '* WRITTEN BY THOMAS MCBURNEY (C) 2003

    ...indicates that it's copyrighted, and likely not released under an open license of any sort. Okay for sharing, perhaps, but that's about it.

    It was published in the QB64 forum, for anyone to use, and for anyone to download.

    Do you think I should delete this one?

    That doesn't make it public domain. Permission to use and share is not public domain.

    If you're refering to your Usenet post, you can't.
