I've send a message to admin-i...@tpc.org and never got an answer. (on http://www.tpc.org/trademarks/ they list ad...@tpc.org as the right address, but sending a message to admin@ redirects to admin-info@.)
My code doesn't contain any TPC data or code. Its a Java re-implementation of the C data generator. The only thing it does is using the name "TPC". It also tries to generate the same data as the official generator, but we don't claim that.
