I've said it more than once. It's immoral to pretend to be a Free Software project just to be able to take Free Software code into proprietary software. Specially because you developers _have_ to sign that copyright assignment to participate in the community. > > > All you've said up to now in this thread to anyone you replied is "you > > > are wrong". > > > > That's a lie.

Ximian/Novel are just using a way to make non-Free GPL'ed software: by owning all copyrights. If they don't want to be a part of a community, that's fine. It's their choice. If they want to be a part of the community, the way they're doing it is immoral. > > > You have given no real explanation to why these people are > > > wrong. > > > > That's a lie. > > Again, you call something a lie and you don't back it up.
