#1: Tango didn't block SHOO's code.
I cannot find any indication that anyone representing Tango /ever/
said "SHOO copied from us."
Based on what Kris has said in IRC [1] and from asking Lars, the
intent, if not the specific content, was this:
"At casual examination, SHOO's code looks similar to Tango's."
There were no demands to block SHOO's code, no cries of theft.
Kris phoned Walter to let him know about there being a *potential*
issue. This was a courtesy given that Walter has demonstrated
extreme caution when it comes to IP issues. Kris could have posted
it on the newsgroup, but I suspect he didn't because he would have
been flamed for accusing SHOO of stealing.
I think, given the situation, that a phone call is bound to mean
something.
Now, could we all please stop with the personal attacks and
demonisation of the "other side"? This isn't a war, for Pete's
sake.
You're making the situation look symmetrical. It isn't.
