No, this is not correct. Neither me nor Kris (who have been the ones
involved) have any sort of copyright on the runtime. Sean have, and he has
given you this explicit agreemeent. As asserted elsewhere, and by others,
the copyrights on the rest of Tango not pertaining to the runtime, is not
of relevance.
