Seems a bit strange that you can take the source of a _strong_ engine, modify/improve it, finally say it is yours. All you have to do is give credit to the real author _afterwards_. I don't like it however legal it is. I believe source is for learning, not for copying. Note that in the case of Toga a further issue is that the "author" did in fact try to conceal the origin. Allegedly because nobody would test a clone. Do you believe him? I don't.
