I was talking about the post on Tango's forums that reposted Walter's OP. I 
haven't seen anything deleted on the NG.

I've read all the discussion, I think it's very clear (especially from 
Lars's mesage here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.d.phobos/359 ) 
thst there's been absolutely no ego involved, by anyone, at all. The whole 
thing was all about Walter being told that it may be possible that one of 
tango.time's writers could *IN THEORY* have a potentially legal complaint 
about SHOO's lib. I assume that Lars was the one who informed Walter of this 
(though I'm not certain), and if so, then *NOBODY* has actually made any 
complaint about *THEIR OWN* code being infringed!!

Additionally, it's been made very clear that the whole binary attribution 
thing is staying in Tango *purely* because of difficulties in switching away 
from BSD (While I may disagree that sticking with BSD is the best thing for 
Tango to do, the important thing here is that ego doesn't have a damn thing 
to do with it).

So can we finally knock it off with all the "someone has an ego" bullcrap? I 
fully expect Halleck to keep it up, but that's only because every post he's 
made here has been trolling, and trolls certainly aren't going to care about 
any reasonable argument that gets presented to them. But for everyone else: 
It's done, it's over, QED, there's no flaming egos, give it a rest.
