Why MUST detach from tty when writing a linux daemon?

When i tried to write a daemon under linux using C, i was told i should add following code after fork code block:

/* Preparations */
...

/* Fork a new process */
pid_t cpid = fork();
if (cpid == -1){perror("fork");exit(1);}
if (cpid > 0){exit(0);}

/* WHY detach from tty ? */
int fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);
ioctl(fd, TIOCNOTTY, NULL);

/* Why set PGID as current PID ? */
setpgid(getpid(), 0);

My question is: Is there a must to do the above operations?
