The original release of the Mongoose Traveller SRD explicitly added an
exclusion to the OGL; you could not use it for software. I don't know if
that exclusion carried over to Cepheus Engine, which was based on the
Mongoose Traveller SRD. You do need to be aware that while the OGL
apparently does not _inherently_ exclude software, it does constrain you
somewhat; see

CAUTIONARY DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer; I don't even play one on TV or
the internet (though I might play a character with Legal skill in a
Traveller game). I do not give legal advice; I merely report my
understanding of my findings from bingleduck* searches using phrases that
seem relevant to me to the issue at hand. I don't charge for this service,
and you should not assume that the reporting is worth any more than you've
paid for it, unless you've checked it out yourself and confirmed it from
trustworthy and accurate sources.

publicly-available search engine or metasearch engine.
