"Stupid" is nothing more than an opinion (and a self-descriptive one, at that). Thankfully, most of F/OSS is founded on opinion, and you're quite free to package it for your distribution of choice without any Mono bits included. > This only helps M$ destroy Linux! > Don't you see!?

For what it's worth, when Mono stuff was packaged for Fedora around the FC5 timeframe, it went through a lot of debate with Red Hat's legal team. They are extremely good at what they do, and very careful about licensing issues for Fedora. If they say that its patent concerns are negligible for us, then I am quite apt to trust them on it. :) > Anyone who doesn't > see this is a retard. Using childlish references (such as "M$" and "Microvell") is immature and does nothing to further your point. Likewise, name-calling will always strongly discredit your argument, irrelevant to whether or not you are correct. Hope that helps clear things up a bit. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) GnuPG Public Key ID: 0xFFC19479 / Fingerprint: DD68 A414 56BD 6368 D957 9666 4268 CB7A FFC1 9479
