Hi,

have you thought about just asking the authors of the Tango code in 
question?
I would imagine they would say that they only see a minor resemblance in 
the api and asking wouldn't even be necessary from their point of view.

But since W/Phobos is very copyright sensitive, I'm sure they will give 
the permission.
