True. And we _don't_ want another discussion about this. But the point still 
stands that we'd prefer that anyone looking to work on a submission for Phobos 
not look at the corresponding Tango API or source code. Misunderstandings and 
licensing issues are possible, and we don't want to get into that again. It has 
gotten blown out of proportion in the past, and I think that a large portion of 
the posters around here don't understand what really happened (hence the FUD - I 
very much doubt that Jacob is purposely misinterpreting what happened).

So, we don't want to get into that again (though unfortunately, it's bound to 
come up just about any time someone mentions looking at Tango), but it _is_ true 
that it's just cleaner for those working on Phobos to avoid Tango. That way, 
misunderstandings (on both sides) can be avoided, and we won't have any 
potential licensing issues.
