You can use the furiously fast and weak following programs:
gnugo-1.2	(604 ELO on cgos 9X9 , 22k on kgs)
liberty 1.0 	(986 ELO , 14k)
gnugo-2.0	(1236 ELO, 10k)

They work with GTP thanks to Aloril, and are GPL licensed.

A beginner with 3 month of play is between 10-15k on kgs

For stronger one, and still very fast, gnugo 3.6 at level 0 should do it.
