2010-04-30 Thread #ponce
Phobos was mostly public domain, which has legal problems (eg in Japan). The boost license is the closest equivalent to public domain. I would be interested to hear the problems of public domain, as I used the WTFPL as an equivalent.

I'm just writing this to let everyone know that I no longer intend to have any dealings with Tango. If anyone wants to read the reason why, I have copied my post on the Phobos mailing list, sparked by Tango's insistence that SHOO's time library is stealing Tango's time code. I advise

Ok, let's clear some things up. #0: I do not represent Tango in any official capacity. I am posting this because I can see this situation spinning out of control and I just want everyone to stop trying to strangle each other. Believe it or not, we're all (ostensibly) on the same side here.

So far I've been just lurking here, but these are my 5 cents. I think the library situation is terrible. It's not for the good of D. We should just simple ditch Tango. It's D 1.0 only and always causing trouble. We absolutely need support from professionals and enterprises. D is growing fast.
