Original Message (evil lack of mbox compatible archive...):
On the Mono web site it says: "If you have looked at Microsoft's
implementation of .NET or their shared source code, you will not be able
to contribute to Mono"
Does "Microsoft's implementation of .NET" mean MS's actual source for
.NET, or does merely ILDasm'ing mscorlib exclude someone from working on
Mono?
