[Mono-list] Borland exploring using Mono in Kylix

[Chris Woodruff]

Actually the component framework (CLX) Kylix uses is open sourced.  There is
a sourceforge project that has the CLX in CVS.  Now Borland has done a bad
job bringing developers into this project but the code is there.  The IDE
Kylix uses is not GPL so that is the distinction between the 2 halves.
There is also a personal version of Kylix that is free (as in beer) and can
be used only to develop GPL applications for Linux.  Because of this I do
not see anything that will not keep Borland from incorporating Mono
framework into the CLX framework.  I don't think they have to embed the C#
compiler into Kylix just have the IDE call the compiler.
