I will regret this. But you are the author and you have any right to do with
your work, what you want.

I consider Toga as an interesting variation of Fruit. For me, it was never a
question, that Fruit is the environment, where Toga can live in.
Therefore Toga's success is essentially yours.

Wasn't it interesting for you to see, that there is really room for improvement
in your concept. Of course, it seems a little bit unfair, that people playing
only with a small part of Fruit were at least in one case successful to improve
the engine. But this is also something that earns respect. At least from me.

I would like to see that the Fruit family grows within the GPL. You are the
father of and the power behind Fruit.


Kind regards  Thomas
