As Miguel stated yesterday, the only thing that will change wrt Mono is
where we, the developers, will be getting our paychecks. They'll be
coming from Attachmate instead of Novell in the near future (assuming
the deal goes through). There are also no plans to change the licensing
of Mono.

The same holds true for SUSE.

Hope that helps,
