Moritz, I think there is a misunderstanding somewhere.

Following SHOO's request to add his date/time to Phobos, Walter received 
a phone call at home from a Tango representative. The representative 
stated that the Tango team (of which five people worked on the date/time 
code) finds that code infringing upon their license, which would make 
Phobos infringing if it accepted said code.
