A few years ago the rules were changed to allow tape. It might have been the year after the "non-stick pad vs. non-stick tape" debacle. (If a product was labeled as a non-stick pad it was allowed, but if it was labeled as tape it was not. Talk about lawyering the rules.)

Anyway, I remember someone from the GDC, probably Dave Lavery, commenting that while tape was now legal don't go overboard and make them ban it again.
