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.
