I'm ethically on firm ground, which helps me speak my mind .
But I'm not what you'd like to call a good coder . ( And I'm a bit too
honest for my own good ;)

Yeah I know what "slashdottish" means.
But I have my integrity and I have made sure I don't criticize any
person without sufficent reason.
Also in case you mistook this thread, this discussion was not about
"Mono vs DotGNU" -- this was about the X11 license in general and the
risk it carries for the freedom of software.
Speaking about flame bait , all I posted were facts AFAIK . About offtopic,
the thread has held its topic of the X11 license and issues -- and I don't
think I'm a troll ( no links to goatse.cx yet..... ;).
I don't consider Ximian as a "fellow coder". I consider it as Ximian Inc,
and Mono as go-mono.com . I think I have showed my respect for the coder
in all my mails.
Also you may look down upon my .signature, but that was a precaution.
I had the experience of being on the recieving end from Lupus when I
misattributed "Andy Satori" as a mono contributer.
Look through that pile of junk I've sent and tell me when I refused
to respect a good developer . As I usually say "give respect , take respect".
(and that applies for all -- dotgnu or mono).

I thought that the technical discussion was shifted to Mono-hackers
or Mono-private ?.
Also for me and many other the ethical issues are as important as
the technical ones are.

Offer accepted. I'll do the same here.

LOL !. but I'm still coding in good old C.
