GoGui can be used with any Go engines, independent of their license, as long 
as the interface and tools that come with GoGui communicate with the Go 
engine only by using the GTP protocol.

Using code of GoGui directly in your program however is only possible for 
programs that also use the GPL or a GPL compatible license 
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html).
