Hello,


Following the great work that Masahiro Nakagawa and SHOO offered to Phobos, we are inviting them to join the Phobos developer ranks.

Once the community review of the proposed libraries concludes with approval, Masahiro and SHOO will be able to commit the modules to Phobos themselves.

In case you two accept the invitation, please create accounts on dsource.org if you don't have and the let me know of your IDs.

Thanks! You are now a Phobos developer. Unfortunately you cannot commit your changes to std.date because it infringes on Tango's license.

What did I infringe the license of Tango for? For interfaces? For implements?
I've written the codes without the intention. Please tell me the points that are the problem.

I don't know other details except that a Tango representative explicitly warned us about the potential infringement yesterday. You may want to check with the Tango team. I am sorry for the disappointment this must entail to you.

The current direction considered for std.date is to take the design of Boost.Date_Time as a starting point.

I'm curious to know what parts of SHOO's contribution the devs think is infringement. The interface looks like a knockoff, but beyond that, nothing reasonably stood out when I compared them.

Walter takes any possible copyright taint very serious.
Better someone told W about it before he does an emergency blow up of
phobos. ;)
Maybe you can talk to the Tango devs to clear up this matter?
