This wording ("clone") is not acceptable. This matter has been intensively
discussed and explained in the past, and it is clear that Toga II 1.1 is a
correct and legal open source engine, based on o.s. Fruit 2.1. In contrast to
that, the word "clone" describes software which incorrectly consists of parts
for which no permission from the original author has been given, for use like
that.
