I don't know why, but Kris does > not want a non-infringing reimplementation of Tango's time code in Phobos. Why should he? He has invested much time on Tango and Tango was much better. Phobos was rebuild from scratch because of serious NIH syndrome by some weirdos. You're enforcing your stupid 'better than thou' attitude with the crap Boost license. The real work was already done. Your only contribution will be to spread the stupid intellectual property propaganda (attribution clause FUD). You can't beat the old work technically. > "Even if you have good intentions, as I'm sure Shoo had, it is important > to know this, there may be less forgiving actors out there." > > I guess I found one.
