Licenses and Acknowledgements
All games on CalmPlay are built in-house: Sudoku, 2048, Solitaire (Klondike), Minesweeper, and the chess interface were written from scratch for this website, including all artwork (card faces, pieces, glyphs, logo). The underlying game ideas are in the public domain.
2048 — acknowledgement. The game concept of 2048 was created by Gabriele Cirulli (2014), who released his original under the MIT license (github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048). Our version is an independent re-implementation with no code taken from the original; we credit it out of respect for the idea. The original 2048 is licensed as follows:

Chess engine: Stockfish (GPL-3.0)
The computer opponent in chess is Stockfish — a free, open-source
chess engine. We ship the unmodified single-threaded “lite”
WebAssembly build from the npm package stockfish@18.0.8 (upstream
project: github.com/nmrugg/stockfish.js, the WASM port of official
Stockfish):
stockfish-18-lite-single.js— SHA-2565243fd9b276cab7dfe3ad1d43ab9ead73568fac76468c614242977a210c4a391stockfish-18-lite-single.wasm(7,295,411 bytes) — SHA-256a8fbc05ec6920b56d7485826dcb02c5ffd2826bcbf751cf973046f237a9096f1
Stockfish is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. The complete, unmodified license text ships with this site: COPYING.txt. The engine runs as a separate program in an isolated Web Worker and communicates exclusively via the UCI text protocol.

C++ source code and build scripts. The npm package itself contains only
