It does if the project is distributing press releases where they claim to become the standard. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS3533242304.html "The Tango Project says it hopes to eventually provide: A specified default native look A subsystem to help standardize toolkits on a common look and feel A complete, standard set of application, mimetype, and stock icons to build upon a style guide Cross-desktop humane interface guidelines" I definetly consider the way Tango handles this issue an abuse of fdo. BTW: The Tango people knew in advance that e.g. KDE is not pleased by the way they try to introduce their stuff as a standard. Unfortunately they chose to ignore these facts.
