How is that an overreaction? I entirely understand Steve. He did some work and
now because of the licensing crap another person isn't allowed even to be
inspired by Steve's code, although he doesn't mind it at all. That's why he is
frustrated and reluctant to deal with Tango, because it leads to complications
like we currently have, where someone can't use his own code(Yes I know that
there are 4 people more and I don't know how much each other contributed, but
Steve did a major rewrite). And there is nothing personal here.

Because of the licenses, code from Phobos can go to Tango, but not the other
way round. That is not fair and very unfortunate, as people are loosing time
reinventing the same wheel and participating in these useless discussions.

Steve(being involved in writing of tango.Time) confirmed that there wasn't any
copying of the code. SHOO only implemented the same interfaces (not even
retaining source compatibility). So why even bother?
