Yeah, that's my ticket. And that's not the original title. When they
changed the title of it, I gave up any hope. (And I stopped
contributing anything to Tango, other than bugfixes).
And that ridiculous forum discussion, where they say about how Phobos
changed the license without consulting them -- 100% of the public
discussion about the license happened on the newsgroup.
