We argue that the tensionless branes recently found on non-BPS D-branes using noncommutative field theory are, in fact, gauge equivalent to the vacuum under a discrete gauge symmetry. We also give a simple construction of the D(2p)\ensuremath-branes in type IIA theory starting from a single non-BPS D9-brane.
