Yes, all the code I've ever written or will write is in those two modules. Sad, isn't it? I'm legally required to submit all my code to a D standard library, and that's all I could accomplish.

This is completely false.  Walter did not say that.  He said that he will not participate in the transaction, even if such copying didn't occur, unless Tango says it's ok to copy that code.  It's like someone you don't know tries to give you $1000 and at the same time, your friend says that they might be missing $1000.  You tell the person giving you the money that since there is no way to prove that he did or didn't steal the money, your friend must say it's ok for you to accept it.

How is that any admission of guilt or theft?  How is that any kind of demand of your friend?  How does this do anything against anyone's will?  All parties involved here are able to do whatever they want, Walter is just giving a set of conditions that he will accept.  No demands were made.

Yes. The silence is deafening.

Essentially, two years of trying to prove that it is false, and failing, despite heavy involvement in both Tango and Phobos. I have not come to that conclusion lightly.

Just ignore him. All of his posts have been trolling so far.
