hmm... this is the second time when i join/begin a mono-licensing
thread :)

miguel...that link to the mail...do you really think it's a solid enough
ground to base the future of gnome on it?

i know novell is doing a research on the licensing/whatever issues with
dotNet.

imho it would be much better to respond to these threads with a single
"wait for the results of the legal review" line, 
and not entering discussions, where the mono/novell people's only
arguments are their beliefs and calculations about microsofts future
moves.
