Chameleon is a free, powerful UCI chinese chess engine derived from Stockfish. It is not a complete chess program and requires a UCI-compatible GUI (e.g. CChessGUI) in order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for information about how to use Chameleon with it.
This distribution of Chameleon consists of the following files:

Essentially, this means that you are free to do almost exactly what you want with the program, including distributing it among your friends, making it available for download from your web site, selling it (either by itself or as part of some bigger software package), or using it as the starting point for a software project of your own.
The only real limitation is that whenever you distribute this program in some way, you must always include the full source code, or a pointer to where the source code can be found. If you make any changes to the source code, these changes must also be made available under the GPL.
